I have a 10 x 6 foot area that is filled with Goat's rue, It was used to produce better lactation in goats, cows and pigs. The animals were fed a dried potion of this herb , the actual live plant is toxic, it caused bigger breast and better milk production, thus the Mother love nickname, it derives from the nursing connection.
On this day I was annoyed by a low hummmmmmmm.....some distant chainsaw, I'm sure.
Soon a big 'ole late spring bumble bee came into focus,
he raided my pink flowers pretty aggressively,
and after this one in a million shot, I decided to leave him bee, ha! Buzz on over to How Sweet The Sound for more pinks.C&G Design
Great pink flower photos, and love "looking" at the bee from this view....great shot!

Lots of pink indeed. Love the shots. I remember your goat's rue post last year and only recently came upon it in a perennial book I picked up. It is pretty neat!

ReplyDeleteHi Dawn, I saw the word 'bee' and had to come. I'm glad I did and learned something new. Lovely pink blooms of Mother love and the connection with lactation--that's so interesting! No wonder the bee was so happy there!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. I love bumblebees and have a small collection of "bee" themed items. Thanks for sharing your photos.

ReplyDeleteWow Dawn!! That camera is a keeper! I wish mine took that good of a closeup. I am pretty sure with mine it is user error though. Talk to you soon...nice job on the vine and the buzzy bee!
