Backyard Early Summer Nature in New Jersey.

The Yucca and Prickly Pear flowers are in bloom. There are several new wildflowers (and I am not sure of the ID). I also am seeing more poppies (Red, Icelandic, and California). Individual images from the slide-shows are available here.

Backyard Early Summer Nature in New Jersey.

First day of Summer. The Yucca plant gets closer to blooming, the deer ate the flowering tops of the hot pepper plants, the Red Poppies are starting to bloom, and a carrot like wildflower with tiny white flowers is starting to bloom.
