  • Lily after rain

    A patch of day lilies stretching after the heavy rain.

  • Bumbler

    This is a small bumblebee, one of many I saw dining on the spirea bushes. The plants have odd, spikey blossoms and they die a few days after blooming. Maybe that’s why the bumblebees were hustling.

  • Phlox

  • Fading Lily

  • Mouse-eared hawkweed

    For years I’ve been mislabeling this little flower a dandelion. Why? Because I wasn’t paying close attention to the differences in shape. This lovely weed has squarish petals, compared with the dandelion’s, which are thinner. I apologize, little weed. My bad.

  • Mountain laurel

    This is the first year I’ve seen this tree bloom. It’s almost against the pilings under the old factory. it grows beside the white great laurel I’ve photographed for a few seasons.

  • Multiflora rose

    Two small patches of flowers behind an old building. When I see flowers in an abandoned area I admire their toughness in this careless world.

  • Peony

    Waited two days for the weather to get a bit warmer so this flower would open a little. It had shut tightly Friday as the weather chilled. Welcome to New England, peony.

  • Spirea

    I first saw these bushes growing wildly last year outside the front door of the converted factory where I live. They look like they’re a gift from a passing alien.

  • Great laurel
