• update on breakup

  
  Fireweed is getting taller, but still no buds, so it is still officially breakup here.

  
  Tiny buds (this is much magnified) have emerged on the evergreen lowbush cranberry plants.

  
  Unless you count pussywillows and other tree catkins, these are the first wildflowers open here.  If anyone can identify them, please let me know.  Leaves are shown below.
  

  
  Recent rainfall brought up numerous seedlings of chamomile (above) and chickweed (below)…
  
  …and weighed down the blossoms on the pigsqueak.
