UW Species in the first sunny week in May

I decided to identify more species on campus now, rather than earlier in the year, as the plant species on campus finally started blooming and fruiting, making them so much easier to identify. It was high 60's, mostly sunny, mild weather perfect for making observations and taking pictures. Almost all of the species I identified were most likely affected by human interaction or planted specifically by the grounds-people who manage the flora on campus.
I was only able to get to genus on the inaturalist observations for certain species, which is unfortunate considering that getting to taxa is more valued on this website, but I was not able to identify these species further than that. By comparison to other trips I've taken (like the one in Schmitz Park) identifying species was much harder, and species I put up as and ID please were only identified by the experts to genus. It could be in part that Schmitz Park had a lot of easily identifiable native species, or that I took a lot more pictures that day than I did this trip through the UW.
