Nodding Ladies Tresses are in flower. They are called 'nodding' because the flowers often tip below the horizontal.
Rough Hawkweed is also in flower. There are at least 5 yellow hawkweed species in our area.
Sand Jointweed is putting out its first flowers.
And the seed pods of Blue False Indigo were covered with broad-headed bugs. Perhaps Megalotomus quinqespinosus, a name bigger than the bug itself.
