Common, Aka Black, Nightshade is in flower. Look for reflex white petals and yellow stamens bunched into a 'beak.'
Slender Cottonweed is starting to open. This is a salt tolerant species and can be found on roadsides in SE Vermont. It can also be a bit invasive.
And a moth called the Cherry Scallopshell was flying last night. Larval hosts for this species are Azalea, Meadowsweet and Willow … not cherry!?
