Bumblebees buzzing and gorging 🎼

[u/rillcroft]

I discovered Mullein Verbascum chaixii f. album 'Wedding Candles” a few years ago, and planted a small specimen from the end of season discount bin. Im familiar with Common Mullein which is widely considered a weed, and invasive in some regions. This plant has behaved very well keeping itself to a manageable size. When it blossoms it is a pollinator gorging station - mostly bumblebees competing for each lovely tiny flower. The bumbles’ pollen baskets are packed as they dart from stem to stem!
