My Ceanothus americanus is flowering and absolutely crawling with insects. Below are pictures of the star-shaped flower buds before bloom and then some more of the blooms themselves

We've also harvested a ton of cherries this week, along with snap peas and a second round of lettuce. Our trap tomatoes are growing a little slowly but our production ones are beginning to set fruits.

What's growing on with you all?

Snap peas are so good. I spread a bunch of mixed wildflower seeds in the spring for the birds and insects, and they're growing well, along with some ferns and roses, but I'm not sure what most of them are. My bf doesn't like them in our planter box because they look "unkempt", but it's a little too late to mention that now.
