The yellow daylilies were first to bloom this year; these two came from my great grandmother's farm in Bardstown, KY in the early 80s. The third image is the same plant as the second, just better lighting. The fourth image above is the fruit or seeds of the Dracunculus vulgaris, a most interesting stinky plant, a gift from the birds, I think.

And then there's this little thing, the dark green standing straight up hairy petals around the brownish center.  What is this?  It looks so familiar but I can't remember what it is. I need to post in Plant ID.

**** Found it, field garlic, or wild garlic in this image. It's located near my goldenrod and black eyed susans, so I guess it felt it was in a safe place.

And would you look at this ugly thing attached to my baby Witch Hazel tree.  They are all over it and I'm so upset. The first two images are the top surface of the leaf and the third one is underneath. Makes me upset, I love that tree. Researching now, I really hope this doesn't spell baby WH disaster.

The last whirly image is seed forming on Blue Ravine Clematis. Nature is so pretty.
