A New Plant in our Yard

The nurseries are finally open and we made a trip to Reilly's Summer Seat Farm to see what native plants we could find. We bought a spicebush, which had been on our wish list for several reasons: birds like to eat their red berries in the fall; they attract spicebush swallowtails; they are compact; and their yellow flowers add a new color to our yard in mid-spring. What's not to like?
I plan on photographing this shrub in several seasons and will keep you posted how the birds and insects take to the spicebush.
