Passionately imperfect self-growth junkie, philosopher, nature-junkie & concerned citizen just trying to make the best of this one life.
Got to watch the first bumblebee of the year indulging in the bottle gentian in the adorable way that they do it.
They are the only pollinators of this late-blooming blue native flower, since they are the only ones strong enough to open the "bottle" to climb inside.

If you love Monarchs (& bees & hummingbirds & other butterflies), plant Mexican Sunflower / Tithonia!
Literally had tears in my eyes today as so many flitted & danced around me.
