Mountain Laurel is opening a few flowers. Soon Black Mountain will be bathed in its billows of white, pink or rose.
Sheep Laurel is also starting its season, opening a few of its deep pink flowers. Sheep Laurel grows in moist open locals.
The yellow tipped, purple shooting-star flowers of Bittersweet Nightshade drape thickets and weed patches.
And round umbels of greenish bad-smelling flowers lure pollinators to the appropriately named Carrion Flower.
