bluet

here is houstonia pusilla of the family rubiaceae:

this is a proper winter bloom, according to Dukes, this flower should begin to show up in february lasting through june. i have seen this little flower just about every where, it is small, but the brilliance of the flower is hard to miss, especially now with the ground still mostly brown and dormant. h. pusilla stands no more than 4 inches off the ground and can show up solo or in bunches.

I want this to be pronounced "bloot." Not "blu-ay"
