Bumble bee on yellow petal of cup plant

Two bees visiting two separate flowers of the cup plant. One bee has tons of pollen on its hind legs.

The bees are loving the flowering Cup Plant! They seem to like resting or sleeping on it too.

Meet Cup Plant (Silphium perfoliatum), a native water fountain for pollinators. Still waiting on this sunflower relative to bloom, but the leaves are showy most of the year. Their shape holds small pools of water #cupplant #silphiumperfoliatum #silphium #waterfountain

A leafy green cup plant had a cup in its leaves that catches water for animals to drink. Two water fill cups are in this photo on the same plant.

It’s been raining all week and the cup plant is full.

Turns out Cup Plant makes a great host for Mason Bees! I cleaned them up, cut, hot glued and tied them with twine. They couldn't even wait for me to finish hanging the new houses. What a great way to help nature's gems! ❤️ 🐝
