I think the white flowered trees are our native elderberries, although I forget the exact species.

Jo~We have seas of those white violets too…love ‘em. No Photoshop here (except for removing the bags under my eyes). That rose was the real deal.
I know better photos are necessary to ID plants. I will try to do better in future.

Grace~I thought for sure I could rely on you for naming everything. I love you anyway.

Hi Ricki~~ The rose is just mesmerizing. I remember the yellow violets that grew in the forest we used to own. Such pretty things. Sorry I’m not more adept at names either. But regardless they’re sure are little treasures.

Wildflowers in the wild maybe sparse and well-behaved, but get them inside the fence and they go beserk. Take my titchy white Viola odorata: at least a thousand on one smallish lawn alone.
Meow to you too :-). That was a touch terse.
We do have cats. Dozens of them. Not ours of course. They leave tons of droppings, kill no mice but are partial to tiny songbirds. Blackbirds are too large for them.
I am usually good with identifying flowers, but need a close-up cut-out of the actual perianths. That early rose looks like it is the Rosa “Photoshop”. No?
