A picture of Evergreen Currant, Ribes viburnifolium, in bloom. The tiny red-orange flowers have five petals each, with clearly visible stamens. The leaves are glossy and green, looking almost like oak leaves. A mugwort stem is photobombing the shot.

Here's a nice treat! Evergreen currant, sometimes called Catalina Perfume, is a fragrant species of currant native to my region and the biggest I've seen. Pretty and spreading, with these lovely leaves. The birds are gonna love it this summer.
