    The photo description I sent in was: Bombus Mixtus Bumble Bee on Sea Thistle.
    Thanks for posting!

      We grow this plant and it’s commonly known as “sea holly” … every nursery I’ve ever seen it in, too. So that’s why I used that name instead – TR

    Good to know! We only have one sea holly in our yard, but I would like to add more. This really stands out and it seems to thrive in our NW climate. Thanks TR

    FWIW Sea Holly = Eryngium, Globe Thistle = Echinops and people often confuse them

      Thanks, jwws. We have both :) lovely perennials that I planted years ago, which return despite my general garden neglect!!! – so I know them on sight. Sea holly is so fascinating, with the lower leaves that vaguely resemble ivy, and then the “crowns” around the blue-purple blooms. Brad’s bee photo is just wonderful – we’re enjoying those fuzzy little visitors this week, particularly in the full-bloom (late!) apple-blossom escallonia out front … TR

    I had sneak peek into the new motel rooms on Saturday with very kind host Joey; for a local motel, this place is gorgeous

Sorry, comment time is over.
