Thank you guys, for ID'ing the hairy pain in the dupa weed - UGH, did I have a heck of a time with that stuff today!!!!!! I didn't know before I started how sensitive those suckers are to any touch-- seeds flying all over me left and right. UGH!! I can see that this year is gonna be a DOOZIE when it comes to weeding. =/

OK, so.. positive things.. while I don't actually have any blooms yet, this is my first official BUD in my yarden now! One of my Irises, and for the life of me I just can't remember which one. A Siberian, I think.

Oh.. WAIT!! I do have something actually blooming, but I didn't put it there... my guess is that it's either a dogwood (my first guess, 'cause it's about 15-20 feet tall or so), second, distant guess... some sort of wild Azalea... (but I doubt it).
First shot of it is a distance shot - to show the height. Second shot of it is a close-up of the blooms. Cute little things, huh? :)
