Blackhaw (Viburnum prunifolium) in bloom in the woods now. Its nectar and pollen attracting both bees and flies. Caterpillars of the Spring/Summer Azure Butterfly feed on buds and flowers of Blackhaw while later instars of Baltimore Checkerspot will occasionally nibble on the leaves.

Lovely to see this small tree/or shrub blooming in its native eastern North America. Cymes of 1/4 inch flowers that are each punctuated with 5 long stamens with thin white filaments topped with yellow anthers.
