Today Bluecurl, with its arching blue stamens and spotted lower lobes, started to flower.
Boneset, a close relative of Joe-Pye Weed and White Snakeroot, opened multiple clusters of fuzzy white flowers. Bonesets wrinkled opposite leaves are perfoliate, they unite around the stem.
And, a planthopper, one of the myriad (there are approximately 1400 species in North America) chose a poor place to feed, but a good place to have its picture taken!
