HikerBob: I have many of the same flowers in my yard. Any that you don't know I'd be glad to name.

HikerBob, I finally got around to showing your pictures to Susan. She'll take over from here:

1) Campanula persicifolia, blue (Blue Peach-Leaved Bellflower)

3) Red Clover

5) Coreopsis (at least, it's in the Compositae family)

7) Escholtzia (California Poppy)

8) Dianthus barbatus (Sweet William)

9) Lychnis coronaria

10) Verbascum

12) I think this is a pink Queen Anne's Lace !?!

13) Compositae family--could it be Boltonia or more likely Kalimeris?

14) Dianthus deltoides

16) Callirhoe involucra (possibly 'Wine Cups'?)

17) Campanula persicifolia (Peach-leaved Bellflower)

18) Sedum acre or Sedum 'Golden Carpet' (tons of sedums out there)

19) Opuntia (Prickly Pear Cactus)...a few are hardy up here.

20) Hemerocallis fulva (aka Outhouse Daylily)

21) Variegated Lysimachia

22) Digitalis (a white foxglove)

23) Dianthus deltoides

24) Potentilla

25) Leucanthemum (Shasta daisies) and purple vetch

26) an ant on a plant (could it be fennel? not enough detail)

27) Verbascum

Anyone know what flower this is? They are growing in the woods near my house, but I'm guessing they are domestic.

It is a Grape Hiacynth. Photograph several in New Hampshire in early June.

very timely, I was just about to post a couple of pictures of cinquefoils:

From L to R:
Potentilla argentea (silver cinquefoil)
Potentilla canadensis (dwarf cinquefoil, not the same as the rare alpine Potentilla robbinsiana)
Potentilla recta (sulphur cinquefoil)
Potentilla norvegica (rough cinquefoil)
Sibbaldiopsis tridentata (three-toothed cinquefoil, formerly Potentilla tridentata)
all pix are from the last week or so except the P. canadensis (from May), slight ID uncertainty on the P. canadensis and P. norvegica.
