    Great pictures! The plant looks like Gooseneck Loosestrife. I find bee-watching really relaxing, (except when I’m trying to get a good picture of a busy bee).

      Good eye on the plants–we’ve got a substantial patch of it. Beautiful, but but aggressive; it requires constant vigilance. The bees swarm it, however, so it’s worth the effort–anything for the bees.

        Aggressive — that’s why I haven’t introduced that one to my place. Already have enough pushy plants. 🙂

        Yes, we pondered grubbing it out, but since it seems to spread by runner, not seed–none of it coming up elsewhere in the gardens–we relegated it to a spot in front of a hackberry tree where a lot of stuff won’t grow, and kept it for the bees.
