More Flowers

An assortment of flower photos from the neighborhood. 

These rhododendrons are right at the corner of our house where I can see them from my desk. They're wet from the sprinklers. These ones start out with a lot of color, but it gradually fades as the flowers open up.

Chestnut trees in blossom are an amazing display. Most are white like this, but there are some pink ones too.

There are so many flowers growing "wild" around here. Most of them probably aren't native. I use the PlantNet app to try to identify them, but it often struggles. It thinks this is Valerian.

Valerian ?

This is common along the walkways, maybe Periwinkle?

I don't see these tiny (1/2 inch) flowers as often. Maybe Common Stork's Bill?

I think these are Bluebells, which are common here in the spring.

And the wild roses are blooming. There are multiple kinds here, this might be Nootka Rose.
