Thimbleweed, AKA Tall Anemone, is starting to flower. This plant can have either greenish flowers that are 3/4 - 1 inch wide or white flowers 1 - 1 1/2 inch wide.
Rough Avens with its very abbreviated white petals is also in flower.
The purple blotch leaves and dense pink flower spikes of Lady's Thumb brighten ditches and waste places.
And a Tiger moth, probably Williams' Tiger, was flying last night despite the thunderstorm!
