Throwback to 2023 when I grew #tithonia. I love it & so do the monarchs, but it takes SO long to bloom. Maybe I'll try to start some in March. Native to the southwest US & Mexico so I call it a #nativeannual here. #bloomscrolling #nativeplants #nectarplant #ecoregion50ae #biodiversityconservation
Several Common Carder bees were feeding on the many flowering Bugle on my #Allotment today. It was the case of the furry meeting the furry & the very small people in blue jumpsuits.
Whatever drew these lovely fluffy bees in, they seemed never to have enough of #Bugle.
