First Bluet

This season's very special find! My first 2022 bluet, a singular specimen, singularly beautiful. They will be all over my yard soon, in numerous clumps.




You may also know them as Quaker ladies - it is claimed that this name comes from the fact that they resemble the shape of the hats worn by Quaker women. I wonder if it's also because they huddle together in little clumps?
