Title: First blooming of phacelia tanacetifolia
Post by: Cindi on June 17, 2007, 10:20:04 AM
The phacelia are now beginning to set their blooms.  The bees go crazy over this annual that self-seeds like the dickens.  The plants will keep blooming right until frost kill as the plant self-seeds and their is a continuous generation of new seedlings that germinate (and I help a little bit too).  Have a wonderful day, great life.  Cindi

The pollen that comes off phacelia is dark purple, very beautiful to see.  I will post pictures on the next sunny day of this beautiful pollen. Have a wonderful day, Cindi
