Thought I would keep the 'more rare to my yard' bee posts going.
Half-black bumblers #bombusvagans are ones I can't ID by myself yet! iNaturalist is such a huge help!

Foxglove beardtongue is a great native alternative to snapdragons with its large white, spring flower stalks. Bonus: gorgeous red foliage when the growing season ends. Sow seeds now through January. They need 30days of winter to germinate. Seeds for sale now, plants in spring #penstemondigitalis

How many kinds of blooming flowers can you count? I just love this garden🌱 😍

For those following along at home, the #PalePurpleConeflower has progressed nicely! There were a few losses in the strong winds recently, but still a good showing! Also pictured: #FoxgloveBeardtongue

3 feet of loveliness. This is native Foxglove Beardtongue or Penstemon digitalis. Only a 2yr old plant and already so showy. The rest of the year it has an attractive semi-evergreen basal clump of leaves #penstemondigitalis #penstemon #foxglovebeardtongue #nativeflowers #nativeplantsofnorthamerica

I believe this cutie is a mason bee. I saw a whole grouping of them on my Penstemons over the weekend. So sweet. 🥹💙 #penstemon #penstemondigitalis #masonbee

Penstemon digitalis shirts ready to wear 👚🌱 #nativeplants #bonfire #penstemon #penstemondigitalis

Penstemon digitalis covered in snow from last week! As we impatiently await the arrival of Spring, reminder to leave everything you can in your garden. There are so many insects and tiny things also preparing for spring! The birds will also help you clean up! If you must ‘tidy up’, wait until nighttime temperatures stay consistently over 50 degrees.
