Some of
these plants remain a mystery to me. This tree (pictured at top) has been
growing for years underneath the cover of the much taller closely neighboring mulberry tree. It
blossomed white this week. Does anyone one know what it is? A variety of cherry?
And then
there's this blue sparkling tiny flower (second photo) with mint green leaves. I
transplanted this plant from Plymouth when we moved here to Quincy ten years ago. I still
don't know what it is.
I know the
name of this plant (third down). It's called Lungwort (or Pulmonaria), but my
camera doesn't work well with this shade light, so it's hard to distinguish it from
the surrounding viney vinca. 
The flower
spikes of the Ajuga opened this week. They're a dark color than shows in the
photo. (fifth photo)
Forget-me-nots,
a pale blue flower with white centers are shown here, with Ajuga spikes in the
background. This plant is migrating from where I put it to an area it appears
to like better. (sixth photo)
Another
blue flowering groundcover that blooms in mid-May is the thickly blossoming
Speedwell shown in this photo (seventh photo).
Another low
groundcover, Sweet Woodruff, blossoms with low white flowers in May. This plant
has also redistributed itself around the garden area. (eighth photo, foreground)
The white
blossoms on these plants (photo nine) completely eluded my memory but I found the ID tag
that came with their purchase. It's called a "spring Anemone." Very
delicate texture on these flowers; I hope they last a while. (ninth photo, pink bleeding heart in upper part of photo)
Finally
showiest flower, and by far the largest, in the early mid-May ensemble is the
Chinese peony. The first blossoms opened yesterday when I took the picture.
Today they all opened (tenth photo) They're luscious.
