The Comfrey gardens are just about done their blooming, I have several wild areas where this plant grows freely. The bumblebees love it, the honeybees do not. The flowers are too deep for the honeybees to get the nectar. Some pretty pictures, the comfrey stands about 6 feet tall. Great day. Cindi

Note the orange pollen on the legs.

Oh very nice, I always admire plants that flower in that circular fashion. Where a coiled vine of flowers uncurls as they bloom. They are nice.
