A perennial plant that I sowed last year and has grown to a magnificent size this year is Figwort. All the "wort" plants are used medicinally, I just haven't used any, hee, hee.
The Figwort is quite the big plant this year. It is covered in thousands of insignificant small flowers, but the bombus and the honeybee love it. I will get some very interesting pictures of the bees on the Phacelia Tanacetifolia to bring on tomorrow morning, I hope. We'll see, have that most beautiful and wonderful day, livin' life to the fullest that you possibly can. Cindi

Heading home, that full honey stomach, ready to do her part in feeding her family:

Just love that photo Cindi of the bee heading on home. What an unusual plant. Really doesn't look like much, but the bees know better.
Good day and love

Annette, the flowers on this plant are definitely insignificant, nothing to look at all, but yes, the pollinators really know what is best for them. Beautiful day in this beautiful life. Cindi
