Bush cucumber
Lots of flowers, only one cuc so far!
 
Swiss chard
With a little bug heart eaten out on the lower leaf. I am an organic gardener.
IMHO swiss chard tastes lke grass, no matter how you prepare it!

Queen of the Swamp

 
Wild Yellow Iris
Iris pseudacorus
 
A wetland plant that is especially showy during its short blooming period. Not native to North America,  Iris pseudacorus was brought to Canada and the U.S. as an ornamental plant in the early 1900s. It is a fast-growing and fast-spreading invasive plant that can out compete other wetland plants.
