Day 263: Mertensia...I dislike calling it "Bluebells" because the common name applies to several different plants...is a frequent sight in moist areas in the Pacific Northwest. It occurs primarily in lowland areas, but may be found at elevations of 6000' or higher if conditions are otherwise good with respect to its growing requirements. The blue flowers turn pink with age, much like Forget-me-nots. Each bell is approximately 1/2" in length, lovely little gowns for the neighborhood faeries.
