I didn't realise blueberries were in the Heather family but it makes sense.

Totally. Once you see the flowers, you can't unsee it. Families are based on flower structures. Once you see and begin to know the flower structures, you'll know a sage is a mint, a hibiscus is a mallow, a manzanita is a blueberry, on and on. Fun free puzzles if nothing else.

I like this, but I wish it accepted scientific names. Common names are not a convenient way to play

I know its why i stopped playing, but it was fun for a few days

Oh yes, I was thinking about where their cousins, the bilberry naturally grows. :) I've found them on moorlands. Lots of Ericas up there of course.
