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!
Spring is mostly over, so there are few flowers left. The hummingbirds were out and about, but moving too fast for photos @Satori
(The purple circle in the long shot is the parking lot that I had to hike back down to) #DesertHike#BloomScrolling
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
