I already thought that it was the coronavirus that is blooming in Masuria ... and this is just a common buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis) :-))

Buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis)
Buttonbush is a large wetland shrub that produces many globular, white flowers with protruding pistils that cause it to look like a pincushion. The fragrant flowers are about 2 inches in diameter and attract a number of bees and butterflies. Buttonbush’s leaves are dark green and shiny on top, although pale underneath. They are arranged in opposite pairs or in whorls. In the fall, buttonbush produces hard, reddish-brown nutlets that are eaten by some water fowl.
The genus Cephalanthus comes from the Greek words for "head" (cephale) and "flower"(authos).
From me:
I've found these growing wild in swamps and wetlands both, always with some shade during the day.
Cephalanthus occidentalis.
Yes, it reminds me of the virus, too. The next one, when the flower blooms, even more so.

Buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis), an important source of pollen. Found throughout most of the United States in wetlands and riparian areas. Brazos Bend State Park, Texas.
Cephalanthus occidentalis is a species of flowering plant in the coffee family, Rubiaceae, that is native to eastern and southern North America. Common names include Buttonbush, Common Buttonbush, Button-willow and Honey-bells.
C. occidentalis is a deciduous shrub or small tree that averages 1–3 m (3.3–9.8 ft) in height, but can reach 6 m (20 ft). The leaves are opposite or in whorls of three, elliptic to ovate, 7–18 cm (2.8–7.1 in) long and 4–10 cm (1.6–3.9 in) broad, with a smooth edge and a short petiole. The flowers are arranged in a dense spherical inflorescence 2–3.5 cm (0.79–1.38 in) in diameter on a short peduncle. Each flower has a fused white to pale yellow four-lobed corolla forming a long slender tube connecting to the sepals. The stigma protrudes slightly from the corolla. The fruit is a spherical cluster of achenes (nutlets).

Good morning everyone and I hope you had a nice weekend. Featured today is one of my favorite butterflies, being the Pipevine Swallowtail (Battus philenor). Seen here nectaring on Buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis). A difficult setting to photograph this butterfly due to the sharp contrast between the bright white flower and the dark butterfly.
Just three pics of which the other two can be found in the comment section and my stream. But I'm sorry to say, once again I wasn't able to get any decent open wing pics.
As a side note, I've been waiting for this particular Buttonbush to flower assuming as in the past it would attract more than its fair share of butterflies. Particularly swallowtails such as Eastern Tigers, Spicebushes and Pipevines, as well as other butterfly species. But not this year.
When I first arrived where the bush was located, there wasn't a single butterfly nectaring on it. Then after a while along came the two Pipevines seen in these photos. That was it except for a lone Silver-spotted Skipper and a single Buckeye. Which confirms for me 2018 is proving to be the worst year for butterflies locally I can remember. And it's the end of June already :-(
Thank you for stopping by...and I hope you have a truly great day and week.

So they say. No appetite for a pretty posy today.
We slept through the quick passage of Hurricane Nicholas in the wee hours, suffered only a short internet outage and a yard full of tree debris.

Virtues: Buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis), is a United States–native shrub with so much to offer. This four-season shrub adapts easily to various soil types and provides essential food to bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects. Its year-round interest, low maintenance requirements and value to wildlife prompted Nebraska's GreatPlants program to name it as 2015's Shrub of the Year.
Blooms on a buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis) resemble fancy buttons, hence the name. The town of Buttonwillow California was naned for this lone buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis) that sits just outside of the north side of town . The tree was used as a landmark on the Trans-valley trail used by Native Americans. According to tradition it was a meeting place on the trail for the Yokuts. Early European settlers held stock rodeos near this site. In 1865 the Miller Lux Holding Company built its headquarters and store next to the tree. Now surrounded by a fence and marked wit a plaque the tree stands along side Buttonwillow Drive. It has been designated a California State Historical Landmark.

Buttonbush is a common shrub of many wetland habitats in its range, including swamps, floodplains, mangrove, pocosin, riparian zones, and moist forest understory. It is a member of the flora in the Everglades.

Buttonwillow CA, 93206
I have driven by or through the town of Buttonwillow California several times but have never stopped to look around. So this trip I spent a little time exploring. The town of about 1500 people sits on the west side of the San Joaquin Valley, west of Bakersfield in Kern County. The town started as Company Headquarters and company store for the Miller Lux Holdings Co in the 1880s. The town and post office were established in 1895 and named Buena Vista. The name quickly became Buttonwillow named for a lone buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis) that had long been a landmark in the valley. The Yokut people used the tree as a meeting place on their Trans-valley trail. The Miller Lux Headquarters had been built close to the tree.

A Silver-sided skipper (Epargyreis clarus) working the round ball blossom of a Buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis). The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower database says this about the blossoms: "Flowers small, borne in distinctive, dense, spherical clusters (heads) with a fringe of pistils protruded beyond the white corollas." Before yesterday's almost 2" (50 mm) downpour of rain, the pistils littered the ground like snow.

Buttonbush is a plant in the coffee family, Rubiaceae. Common in the eastern and southern US, it is also found near rivers and streams in California's Central Valley. It is a popular nectar plant for butterflies, such as the Lorquin's Admiral that was the subject of my previous post. This photo was taken near the Cosumnes River, where most specimens are medium-sized shrubs, though it can reach as much as 20 feet in height.
