Just some quickies today – the camera was feeling artsy.

Clover.

Siberian Iris – more than a week ahead of where it was last year.

These only emerged today, I think (yesterday was rainy) but they’re already a bit nibbled looking.

anemone.

and again. remind me to show you the leaves of this plant – they’re pretty cool.

found a bug on a milkweed shoot. the heroes at bugguide peg this for Swamp Milkweed Leaf Beetle (Labidomera clivicollis)

The false solomon’s seal flowers were looking particularly fetching.

I watched this guy make his way up to and through this fan of stamens.
