This fast growing hybrid tree will also flower intermittently during the summer.

Comfrey is vigorous and hard to kill with its strong root system.

This plant pictured above wasn’t even planted, it just appeared, whether from a piece of root or plant dropped there or from seed.   These tall-growing perennial plants are attractive to such pollenizers as bumblebees.

Black Locust White Flowers

The young Black Locusts are full of flowers this spring.

Later in the summer the locusts will be filled with small pods.

Tundra Honeyberry

I got a few more Honeyberry plants, that are improved cultivars over some of the older bushes I have.

The berries tend to be bigger and tastier.

Golden Lilac

The Golden Lilac stands out among the green in the landscape.

It also has faded pink flowers in spring, which is unfortunate, as darker flowers would have added a nice contrast to the foliage.

Black Cherry Scenery

Black Cherry trees are easy to notice when they flower in the landscape.

Black Cherries are the most noticeable in the spring with their mass flower display, though later in the year the small black cherries are attractive, too.  The birds eat a lot of them.
