More night flowers

After wrapping up work last night, I squeezed in a late afternoon bike ride on the Deckers Creek Trail.  Not having enough time to ride the entire trail from Morgantown to Reedsville, I jumped on the connector in Masontown instead. What a gorgeous afternoon: expansive blue sky with a few high clouds on the horizon; soft, late afternoon sunlight spilling over everything; and a warm, summer breeze at my back. This is a great time of the year to get on the trail if you have any interest in native plants. Just a sampling from my ride last night (from top): spreading dogbane (Apocynum androsaemifolium), a more attractive relative of Indian hemp; common ninebark (Physocarpus opulifolius), a really beautiful shrub with distinctive red fruit clusters; black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta), an old, old flame I just can’t get out of my heart; tall thimbleweed (Anemone virginiana), a stately perennial with a flare for the dramatic; whorled loosestrife (Lysimachia quadrifolia), just starting to fade out as its close relative, fringed loosestrife, begins to bloom; New Jersey tea (Ceanothus americanus), a sumptuous native shrub whose dried leaves were a popular substitute for expensive British tea leaves during the Revolutionary War; and silky dogwood (Cornus amomum), so gorgeous the way its flowering branches overspread the creek.
