Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Now, normally everyone would celebrate by embracing the color green, but, according to my March 2015 Better Homes & Gardens magazine (which I didn’t read until well past last year’s St. Patrick’s Day, and have been saving this tidbit ever since), prior to 1798 the original color of St. Patrick’s day was blue.
Just doesn’t seem the same, does it? However, there is apparently a type of shamrock that does have blue flowers:
Parochetus communis, aka africanus
Shamrock Pea, Blue Oxalis
