May week 4

It's beginning to look a bit summery with the first hints of crapemyrtle blooms popping up here and there. I was too busy to get out much this week but here's what I did see. By the way, I should have included lots of pics of hydrangea blooms, but I'm sure they'll still be around next week.

At my friends Kim and Loren's house:
oakleaf hydrangea

purple water iris,

and powdery thalia.

In Colonial Williamsburg:
the first whorled rosinweed bloom of the season,

tawny daylily,

elderberry,

Madonna lily,

lavender,

and some tyical season plants, coleus and impatiens.

At the Williamsburg Library native plant garden:
white baptisia,

skullcap,
butterfly weed,

purple coneflower,

swamp milkweed,

Things I saw while out and about:
dogwood (Cornus amomum perhaps?)

white milkweed,

and pink waterlily.
