#FlowersOnFriday I have nothing blooming at the moment, but below is the remnants of a swamp rose mallow, a native wetland perennial that does well in the freshwater marsh behind my house. Excited to see this bloom again this summer!

For #FlowersOnFriday, here’s blooming pickerelweed from this past summer. This native marsh plant is a favorite with butterflies and hummingbirds.
