May 30 was a good day for pictures

Butterfly weed (milkweed family, great feeder of monarch butterflies) with hidden lightning bug:



From the pond, we have:

Iris vericolor, in two colors (determined by the age of the flower-- the paler ones are older)


Pickerelweed! (It's just fun to say, really...)


I planted this last year and promptly forgot what it was (though it's blooming, so I could look it up.)


I don't know what this one is either, but that's because I didn't plant it. Best guess is some kind of weird phlox cultivar.


...And the crazy alien flowers (Beebalm/Monarda.) They are mint family, so prone to taking over the universe, but huge and exciting and I've had at least two hummingbirds come visit them. Which I know, because one was male & the other female.
