Enallagma is a genus of damselflies in the family Coenagrionidae commonly known as bluets. Orange bluets are similar to cherry, burgundy, and scarlet bluets. All three bluets are red not orange. Spring beauties, bluets and dandelions are not far behind. Some lyric essays include vignettes, such as Maggie Nelson's "Bluets". The title refers to the painting "Bluets" by the artist Joan Mitchell. Male boreal bluets set up territories at their choice breeding sites. This species of bluet stands out from other many bluets because of its orange color. Significant flora includes mayapple, bluets, wild lupine, cardinal flower, and pinxter flower. Like many bluets in the genus Enallagma many species look similar to each other. Slender bluets are usually fly from late May to early September. Boreal bluets can have a flight season of early June to late August. "Bluets" has been referred to as a "cult favourite". Bluets is a book by American author Maggie Nelson, published by Wave Books in 2009.
