Though the fruits of my labor shouldn't even be in the same sentence with the word 'Smithsonian,' they're pretty good (if I do say so myself), and they complement my field journal nicely...
Juvenal's Duskywings, Erynnius juvenalis, on Violets,
Viola sp. (I will find out which species and edit here.)
Viola sp. (I will find out which species and edit here.)
The violets are booming! And getting a lot of attention from some duskywings.
Cardamines, Cardamine bulbosa
The cardamines have peaked and are beginning to fade. (I had no luck getting a Falcate Orangetip to pose for my camera, but they were out in force, visiting both the cardamines and the violets.)
Blueberry bushes. I do not know if they are Vaccinium elliotii or young Vaccinium arboretum. I know both species have been recorded in Walter B. Jacobs Memorial Nature Park. I will probably need to sit down with a dichotomous key to be sure.
The blueberries have just begun to bloom.
Spicebush, Lindera benzoin
Spicebush flowers are opening up.
Pawpaw, Asimina trioba
The Pawpaws are waking up.

I think it's safe to say Spring has sprung in Shreveport!
