Flower-of-the-Hour, Hibiscus trionum

Hibiscus trionum, aka Bladder hibiscus, Modesty, Venice mallow. Grows as a weed in our yard but I don't see it in our neighbors' yards.

Birch seed

This birch seed was caught in a spiderweb. We have about 5 kinds of birches: Heritage river birch, paper birch, a couple of Japanese birches and an unknown one. I don't know which one produced this seed but I think it may be the paper birch because it was flowering heavily this spring.

Patch of small mushrooms

Tiny mushrooms. Some kind of Coprinus? Coprinus lagopus?

Native bee with prismatic wings

Hosta

This is an early blooming hosta. None of the others have flowers much less buds, now.
