Interestingly, Kentucky is just one of four US states known officially as a commonwealth. Kentucky is nicknamed "The Bluegrass State", a name based on the fact that bluegrass is present in many of the lawns and pastures throughout the state. But don’t expect to see grass that is blue. It is green but in the spring the distant grasslands seem to be blue due to the purple buds of bluegrass. Many Kentucky B&B inns and lodges use the term “Bluegrass” in their names. And Bluegrass has taken on many meanings. There is the grass itself, a lush variety of groundcover that feeds the state's racehorses. Then there is Bluegrass Country, where most of those horses are raised. There are beautiful Kentucky bed and breakfasts to be found among the immaculate rolling pastures, tidy white fences and gracious mansions: And then there's Bluegrass Music,  folk music from the opposite side of the state, the remote and beautiful Appalachian Mountains.
