Take a moment to catch your breath...
here comes June.

Sweetfern, Comptonia peregrina, is neither sweet nor a fern. It looks like something the dinosaurs would have walked through, releasing the warmest, spiciest aromas of imagination.

You now so many names! I just call them all oooh, pretty. :-)
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking the other day that I've forgotten many more plant names than I remember - I think it's harder to retain them if you aren't using them in day-to-day life. But I'll continue to make an effort to include them here, for anyone interested - and to try to keep my brain working ;).

ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos
Spireah is one of my favorites. I prefer the h spelling.
I've never seen it that way, but you are very welcome to spell it that way here :)
DeleteI've never seen a Mayapple bloom - how beautiful!! It almost looks as though it's made of wax. The spirea are in bloom here and look absolutely spectacular. Just have to hope no rainstorms go through and destroy the blooms!
ReplyDeleteYou are right about the mayapple blossoms! I think the waxy look is partly because of the diffused light - you have to sort of stand on your head to see the flowers, as they are well concealed by those massive leafy umbrellas :)
DeleteI love seeing your May flowers. Looks like mostly wildflowers. Such a pretty time of year.
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed a lovely time of year - something new every day, or even every morning and again every evening!
