Thought I would keep the 'more rare to my yard' bee posts going.
Half-black bumblers #bombusvagans are ones I can't ID by myself yet! iNaturalist is such a huge help!

For those following along at home, the #PalePurpleConeflower has progressed nicely! There were a few losses in the strong winds recently, but still a good showing! Also pictured: #FoxgloveBeardtongue

I believe this cutie is a mason bee. I saw a whole grouping of them on my Penstemons over the weekend. So sweet. 🥹💙 #penstemon #penstemondigitalis #masonbee

My hubs is obsessed with growing tomatoes like I'm obsessed with native plants. We both use tomato cages to support our babies. When I didn't get my common milkers caged in time and asked for ideas on propping them up, he said, "We'll use tomatoes!"🥰

#Penstemondigitalis covered in snow! As we impatiently wait for Spring, reminder there are many #insects and tiny things also preparing! Leave everything you can. The #birds will also help you clean up! If you must 'tidy up', wait until nighttime temperatures stay consistently over 50 degrees.

This is one of my favorite blooming times! #FoxgloveBeardtongue or #PenstemonDigitalis is here for a June show!

3 feet of loveliness. This is native Foxglove Beardtongue or Penstemon digitalis. Only a 2yr old plant and already so showy. The rest of the year it has an attractive semi-evergreen basal clump of leaves #penstemondigitalis #penstemon #foxglovebeardtongue #nativeflowers #nativeplantsofnorthamerica

Foxglove beardtongue is a great native alternative to snapdragons with its large white, spring flower stalks. Bonus: gorgeous red foliage when the growing season ends. Sow seeds now through January. They need 30days of winter to germinate. Seeds for sale now, plants in spring #penstemondigitalis
