5-5-20 SHORT HILLS: After a great weekend, it has turned cold and windy again. The days are long, and it’s light almost until 8PM, but not balmy any more. Mrs. Robin and Mrs. Cardinal are both tucked into their nests on this cold day. I saw a gray catbird today, first of the season.
We’re off to VT sometime in the next day or so where we can watch spring start all over again. Snow is predicted this weekend there.
New blooms: Siebold viburnum, nannyberry viburnum, double file viburnum, leucothoe.
Gray catbird, the first one of the season here. These guys, like the robins, never use the feeders.
It's viburnum season, this is double file viburnum, the center little flowers are yellow when fully open and have the pollen. The bigger white flowers are just to attract pollinators.
Siebold viburnun has a distinctive smell, not especially pleasant, but must attract someone.
Oops, leucothoe snuck in here, it's another inverted white bell.
Nannyberry viburnum is like a lot of viburnum flowers-a white hemisphere.
Honeysuckle with a white flower that goes yellow after pollination.
Slightly later to open than the one above Tatarian, pink honeysuckle is from Siberia, both honeysuckles can be invasive.
