Circaea quadrisulcata 2, Enchanter's Nightshade

What a beautiful name, ... an overlooked plant of woodlands, now I am wondering what its pollinators might be...when does it bloom, seems like maybe middle of summer when most of the bees are absent. Specimen and picture by Helen Lowe Metzman.

Circium discolor 2, Field with white tomentose leaf Howard County, Md, HLM

One of the best pollinator plants ever. This is Circium discolor (field or pasture thistle). Its a native thistle, does not invade fields, is not perennial and has a whole suite of bees that depend on it and its relatives to provide pollen for their young. Please plant some, you will be thrilled with all the big dark winged bumble bees that show up too.
