The long-stalked round flower umbels of Bristly Sarsaparilla dot open woods and clearings. Dark purple berries will eventually form.
Yellow Sweet Clover is also in flower. When crushed and dried this plant smells sweet like new mown hay.
Maleberry's globular white flowers dangle in leafless clusters from twig tips. Maleberry is a small shrub, 2 - 10 ' high.
And garden escape Day Lilies - so called because each flower is open for one day - are brightening roadsides and meadows.
