I don't know what this bush is. My mom planted it years ago. We are all very allergic to it, but the flowers are so pretty and they only bloom for a short period of time so we haven't torn it out. #BloomScrolling
This was one of the 1st #wildflowers I IDed. Was completely unknown to me & that brilliant white drew me in. After many to attempts photograph, I realized that shadows or overcast skies made it easier to catch the delicate texture in the petal.
Taken photos of it in the field but this is a plant I put in last yr (no blooms last yr). This is one of this year's blooms 👍.

A gold and purple iris in my friend's garden. I never really paid attention to iris beards before and didn't realize they has such amazing color patterns.

Guten Morgen zum Pfingstmontag! Gestern Abend kam ich an diesem Feld mit Kamille vorbei, es roch betörend schön.
Heute ist Feiertag, kein Montagsmimimi, dafür gibt es eine kurze Arbeitswoche hinterher. Solltet ihr Dienst in der Pflege oder wo auch immer haben, dann kommt gut durch den Tag!
Fave stetch of spring in garden
Cool damp weather has all the greens popping.

Well, as I said a few days ago, as an experiment I stopped cutting off the flower stalks of the very mature rhubarb I have and this is the result. It's teeming with hover flies and other small flying insects that I could not identify. #BloomScrolling of a sort! #gardening #allotment #zone6b #NewEngland @gardening
Two-hour afternoon concert by our enthusiastic neighborhood mockingbird, a master in polyphony, with ballet interludes by squirrels & jays.
The hummingbird I spotted yesterday announced his official return with the customary hovering outside my screened slider, and roosting in his regular spot in a myrtle tree.
I snapped this photo scrambling my way through a dense, overgrown oleander to scatter birdseed.
Another lovely walk…another day playing with thunderstorms! A 15 km walk from Rennes-le-Chateau to Espéraza (where there’s a quirky market on a Sunday - great stop for lunch and gift shopping). ‘Weather’ was forecast for late pm but storm clouds rolled in just after lunch so we hoofed it back to Rennes. Some big fat raindrops, thunder rumbling and lightening flashing on the next hill over. But as we reached Rennes the sun came back out again and we enjoyed a beer on a sunny terrace.
