Mertensia

Mertensia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Boraginaceae. They are perennial herbaceous plants with blue or sometimes white flowers that open from pink-tinged buds. Such a change in flower color is common in Boraginaceae and is caused by an increase of pH in the flower tissue. Mertensia is one of several plants that are commonly called "bluebell". In spite of their common name, the flowers are usually salverform (trumpet-shaped) rather than campanulate (bell-shaped). Mertensia is native to most of North America and to a large part of Asia from western China to northeastern Russia. Its center of diversity is in the Rocky Mountains. Mertensia is mostly restricted to alpine, subalpine, and montane habitats. more »

I can take a road less traveled by
Taking in the pretty views with every prideful stride
I can go and do it on my own
Say I'm learning brand new truths and discover unknown

Walking on a road much travelled by
Paved with pretty roses but it's still the same old sky but
I'd take wildflowers over roses any day
Growing wild and free and not just placed there for display

Why do we have to take the same old roads
Why can't we go and find our way on our own
There's nothing wrong with roads paved with red roses
But there's nothing wrong when flowers grow where you think they aren't supposed to

I can take the road most travelled by
Give a nice sweet smile as time slowly flies
But they say time it flies when you're having fun
and on my unpaved road you'll never catch the sun
It's always on the run

I would take your road most travelled by
if I knew that's what it would take to make you smile
But nothings quite as simple and you won't be satisfied
so if I can't save your smile, maybe I can still save mine

Why do we have to take the same old roads
Why can't we go and find our way on our own
There's nothing wrong with roads paved with red roses
But there's nothing wrong when flowers grow where you think they aren't supposed to

Don't think I'll take your common road
While it's fine to walk it's simply not my road to follow
I'll leave the flowers to grow as they will
Knowing they could grow and on my road they'll overspill

Why do we have to take the same old roads
Why can't we go and find our way on our own
There's nothing wrong with roads paved with red roses
But there's nothing wrong when flowers grow where you think they aren't supposed to
