Round Bald, Jane Bald, and Grassy Ridge Bald of Roan Highlands has numerous Flame Azaleas blooming in June if the weather doesn't beat the blossoms off the bushes. There are yellow ones as well.

Found growing just outside of a cemetery in Philadelphia. It was growing out of a crack in the sidewalk.

A rare white Virginia Bluebell. Newcomb's field guide just says blue; Wikipedia notes "white blossoms occur rarely". Best viewed large. This site is a wildflower preserve -- somewhere in between native woods & a botanical garden. The plants are growing wild, but uncommon plants may have originally been brought in from outside.
Bonus bug maybe an assassin bug nymph (Zelus sp)?

Growing in roadside ditch— mostly clonal. Not producing fruit due to excessive shade from invasive species, Bucks Co.

Carya ovalisΠαρατηρητής
conboyΠεριγραφή
I think —
Mostly 7 leaflets per leaf (as opposed to 5 of C. glabra)
Thin husk on fruit with 4 splitting pieces
Glabrous twigs with small terminal buds
Mature bark not shaggy
POWO lists C. ovalis as a synonym of Carya glabra odorata

Apparently one of the northern-most wild populations.

Really surprised and delighted to find such a large one so close to home. Unsure if it was planted, as this was an old farm and estate, but it was atop a sandy drier slop. I will definitely return to collect some acorns next year!

This is growing beneath an adult coffeetree so that’s a pretty good bet, but what is going on with those ghostly white leaves?? Is this a virus?
