Kentucky's nickname is The Bluegrass State, because of its
bluegrass . Not all grass in Kentucky is bluegrass. Bluegrass grows
heavily in the central part of the state, and becomes more sparse
in the further areas. When you're in an area where all the grass is
bluegrass, you can't tell that it's bluegrass, because it really is
green. But - in parts of the state where the bluegrass is more
sparse, you can look out over a grass-covered area and notice that
certain patches have a blue-ish tint. Then can you really tell the
difference in bluegrass and green grass. The Bluegrass State The
