Today Pale Corydalis is in flower. I often find it in disturbed areas under power lines.
Common St. John's-Wort is beginning to brighten fields and roadsides. My field guide lists a dozen St. John's-Wort species, most of which can be found locally.
The much maligned invasive, Purple Loosestrife, is also having its season. To quote the field guide, "…often growing in large colonies to the exclusion of our native wild flowers."
And, finally, Bristly Sarsaparilla, a Ginseng relative, is lifting its branching, clustered umbels of greenish-white flowers in open woods and clearings, and, might I add, along roadsides!
