on one species in the garden today, Verbena bonariensis. The bloom that keeps on going and going and going. (and going and going and going maybe a little too crazy if you let it reseed, like I have, but I wouldn't want to miss the great pollinator show that comes with it.)

Nice bee!
Beautiful.
I have more verbena than I have grass.
Did it come from you?

Thanks Sara. I'm sure you can picture what it's like chasing a bee around the garden like a nut, trying to get the picture for an ID and since I've broken my camera and am using my phone for pics, how insane I am for even trying.
Jane-yes. This year's volunteers from last years planting. You have me picturing a whole yard of verbena just smothered in insects..a pretty image.
