Buttonbush
grows in wooded swamps. Its flowers are in dense spherical
heads. The individual flowers each have a long style
and stigma far beyond the short little stamens, which
are nestled down among the short little petals.

Bush
clover (above left) is a prairie species. It’s in the
pea family, but you have to look close to notice that the
little pink and cream flowers are sweet little pea blossoms.
Insects pry the flowers open to get to the goodies inside.
