my favoritest bees ever, the flying teddybears (Melissodes spp) are out and I love them so I had this wild idea to add them to my growing pile of visual bee ID keys

This uhhhh may be a way bigger undertaking than I realized. What do mean mean ID hinges on the color of tiny hair on one abdomen band?
one of my photos of a Melissodes (subgenus Eumelissodes) on a ratibida pinnata flowerhead. The bee is a boy (long antennae) made of golden fluff, with a giant ruff like a lion's mane and giant eyes every shojo protagonist wish they had a messy sketch page with scribbles of male and female traits and a screenshot text being annotated for two particular species (agilis and trinodis)

Happy Wednesday 🌞

These are Ratibida Red Midget or Mexican Hat plant.

I liked the look of this flower, so grown them from seed. An unusual flower but the dark crimson petals are fabulous.

Happy Gardening everyone 🇬🇧🌱

Of course we also did some botany, adding several new wildflower species. Oreocarya thyrsiflora (Limestone Cat's-Eye) had the best name, but Grindelia hirsutula (Hairy Gumweed) was very cool--each flower exuded milky sap 6/n

🌸 Welcome to another #WildflowerFriday!

Today's featured wildflower is gray-headed coneflower (Ratibida pinnata)!

🩶 While also known as the yellow coneflower, the gray in its name comes from the fact that the central cone starts gray.

The brief rain we had a few days ago has brought out the insects. This long-horned bee was feeding on the yellow cone flower, Ratibida pinnata. These fuzzy bees have really cool eyes! #NativePlants

Found this guy, Prairie coneflower (Ratibida columnifera), in the field at work today. It’s new to me, so that’s always exciting!
A pic of prairie coneflower. It has droopy yellow flowers and an oblong, brown-to-gray seed head, depending on where it is in development

Rocket bee.
My 📷
A photograph of an invertebrate insect on a native wildflower, the upright prairie coneflower (Ratibida columnifera) with a tall, yellow, cone-shaped center disk surrounded by drooping reddish petals. The bee looks like it’s getting ready to be launched on a flower rocket. #wildflowers #wildflowerhour #bees #insects #invertefest

The smoke has cleared (at least for now), the sun is shining, and bees are buzzing around the front yard pocket prairie, with wild bergamot (Monarda fistulosa), purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea), and yellow coneflower (Ratibida pinnata) in bloom

Two cone flowers with graceful yellow petals bloom on stems that curve towards the earth before gently arching upward against a background of green vegetation.
