The mystery green tree beside the purple smoke tree is some kind of hydrangea, but I haven’t been interested enough to bother to find out what kind.

Grapeleaf Skeletonizer moth on…water pickerel.

All three of my Lowe’s hardy hibiscus, blooming at the same time. Mostly I took this so I’ll remember which one is which when I go to make a flowerbed around them next spring (probably…unless I change my mind before then).

Yellow flower, almost open!

Two of the mallow that I didn’t pull even if I did waver for a while, trying to decide whether they were weeds or something I’d planted. They’re lovely; I wish I’d planted more, but I didn’t know what the Japanese beetle situation might be like this year, and those bastards just love mallows!
