Native Bluet Flowers – An Amazing Act Of Resiliency At Ninigret Park

I was at Ninigret Park on May 12 and from a distance I saw a whitish haze on the rough broken parking area next to the Naval Air Memorial.

On closer inspection, I noticed a large area covered with native Bluet flowers blooming in an otherwise very difficult area. They are a treat to see! Bluets are delicate, low-growing plants, mostly found in grassy areas so seeing them here was unexpected but a joy to behold.

If you are in Ninigret, come see the amazing sight of swaths of Bluet flowers in a gravelly parking area. It is amazing how sturdy they are!
