The ones that bloom here are shorter and tend a little more toward purple than the Quaker Lady bluets that grew around my home when I was a youngster. I like the Quaker Ladies best. Bluets often have 4 petals, but my sister informed me that some have 5. We thrilled to finding a five-petaled bluet like finding a four-leaf clover. I noticed a bluet with 5 petals right by my sidewalk yesterday. 
Lucky me.
Oh but it is fun looking for the special one. Yes like the 4 leaf clover, it is a rewarding search. Amazing the hours I have spent searching for the 4 leaf clover. Now, if I see the Bluets, I will look for 5 pedals.
