American Ipecac has distinctive leaflets, and five petals- which should not be too surprising for a member of the rose family. The flowers have a dove like quality as they flutter in a breeze. Lack of color is certainly compensated by the uniquely shaped leaves and flowers.
Appalachian Azure is technically blue -however it is such a light shade- it qualifies a bluish-white in my palette of colors. This southern species is a bit larger and more "floppy" in flight than our Spring or Summer Azures. You'll only need to see one fly to know the difference, and if you don't believe me...
well, phooey on you (sticking her tongue out!)
