Pontederia cordata 3, Pickerelweed, Howard County, MD, Helen Lowe Metzman
Pontederia cordata 3, Pickerelweed, Howard County, MD, Helen Lowe MetzmanAh, such an interesting plant for bees. Pontedaria cordata....Pickerelweed. Lives out in fairly deep water, emerges in the spring...sends up a spike of blue flowers in mid-summer. This plant is very attractive to long-tongued bees which have to reach way down to get nectar and pollen.
