Quaker Lady Bluets (Houstonia caerulea) are native edible flowers that can be found blooming April-July.
Quaker ladies can be distinguished from other bluets by the patch of yellow at their center.
Quaker ladies are in the coffee family. They have a taste similar to alfalfa sprouts. An infusion of Quaker lady roots was used by Native Americans to cure bedwetting.
