Fresh blooming today is a seedling that was deemed not worth sale and was never named / patented. Personally I think it’s rather pretty..
Also blooming today is the unknown shrub I’d posted a while back.. I really don’t think it’s honeysuckle.. It’s not like any I’d ever seen, and the flowers are all wrong. If someone can put a name to it so that it can be verified, that would be great.

Very pretty lily, and while I have no clue what your shrub is, it does look like the bees like it. That’s more bees than I’ve seen all spring!

Mind you, those are not big bees.. They’re those little bees similar to sweat bees.

I’ve got a positive ID on the plant finally.. It’s NOT a honeysuckle at all.
It’s Hypericum frondosum ‘Sunburst’, also known as golden St John’s wort.

So that is what a St. John’s Wort looks like … I must say again, how pretty it is.
Glad you were able to find out what it is.

Cool. Growing your own anti-depressant, and didn’t even know it, huh?
