Question
I'm on a mud season trip to Colorado and New Mexico, so I haven't seen these plants in question firsthand, but the Androscoggin Land Trust's stewardship director was checking out a possible property acquisition that includes part of Curtis Bog in Sabbatus and she found what looks like Epigea repens, but with blue flowers. I've only seen white or pinkish flowers. You ever seen blue? Or do we have something else here?
Answer
Dear rspeer566, good morning to you. Yes, I have seen Epigaea repens with a slight blue tinge. This isn't the common form that I observe by any means, but it is something I've observed in more than one location. So, you were correct with the identification. Best wishes.
