Day 293: Featured previously beneath Tiger Swallowtails who stole the show, the Philadelphus (Philadelphus lewisii, a native plant) is almost at the end of its blooming period. The back yard is blanketed in petals and yet the air is still fragrant with the heady Mock Orange scent. Only a few butterflies are flitting about the branches now, seeking the few late-opening buds. It will not be long before fair Philadelphus falls entirely, to await a rebirth in the fine weather of a new June.
