Wildflowers of KY: Bluets in profusion 2017-04-30 - Eastern Adair Co., KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com photo(c). Occasionally, along Adair County's many shady lanes, wild bluets can be seen in beds stretching dozens of yards, often two to five feet deep, and are by themselves reasons to take day trips and have dashboard picnics. Saturday, April 29, 2017 was one of those perfect days to do so and to enjoy the blessing of the bluets. But an even greater pleasure is in spotting the perfect natural setting of the flowers. The protective arch of the fern over a relatively tiny patch of bluets, above, was one of those special occasions, worth the set-aside 30 minute soul refresher afternoon. - LW/EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Wildflowers of Kentucky: Trillium in pink stage 2017-04-30 - Eastern Adair Co., KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, Columbiamagazine.com(c) . Trillium is now in a more mature stage in most of Adair County, with an increasing number in the pink phase as the ones above. The flowers need protection, not only because they are unmatched in beauty, because they are under threat from people and deer, because of medicinal uses, and because of the long time - seven years some experts say - it takes for new plants to mature to the flowering stage.
