More pollinators

I was reminded yesterday of how the myriad bees and other flower visitors like common bone set (Eupatorium perfoliatum), while poking around in previous posts.

It's a winner in the front pocket meadow.

This was an image from last year about this same time.

Common Boneset

Eupatorium perfoliatum and Rudbeckia subtomentosa 'Henry Eilers'
Mid-August pocket meadow
Updating a favorite program today (Native Plants for Pollinators), I figured that I needed to add Common Boneset (Eupatorium perfoliatum) to the mix.

It's been a standout in the pocket meadow (aka pollinator patch) this summer.  The entire pocket meadow has been swarming with flower visitors of all sorts.
