Native Wildflowers in Bloom

Lance-leaved loosestrife, a native east of the Mississippi. The pictures were all taken in the last couple of days. All of these plants were sold by the nurseries as native plants. 

The flowerhead of the joe-pye weed is forming very slowly, with a faint flush in the center promising color to come.

A native catchfly. The granules are nontoxic and intended to keep passing critters from eating the blooms. 

A blurry picture of the first buds spotted on native honeysuckle. I hope there will be better pictures to follow.
