a purple and cream spiky plant, spotted bee balm

#SpottedBeeBalm is such a weirdly beautiful plant - almost alien-like! Plus, the bunnies leave it alone - win!

Dinner for two please. I got to watch the #bumblebees for a while as they were going from #wildflower to flower.

#Agastacheurticifolia is a species of flowering plant in the mint family known by the common name #nettleleafgianthyssop or #horsemint.
There was a small meadow full of this!

A group of purple coneflowers (echinacea) stand out against a background of green grasses. The central bloom shows deep red/orange spikes. The petals droop as if exhausted by their own beauty.

This horsemint display is unapologetically showy, with its multi-level display of alternating white, green and fuchsia structures piled atop a central stalk.

Two gaudy bloomers for #WildflowerWednesday - purple coneflower and lemon bee balm, from my nature walk along White Rock Lake this morning.
