Ray's Thought for the Day

Tribe Bombini. The adjacent occurred at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildlower Center. The bumble bees is workin'. Also in that particular flower bed besides the Eyngium leavenworthii the bumble bees is workin', was some blue sage (Salvia azurea) and some partridge pea (Cassia fasciculata).
Bombini was workin' them too. Bombini, you see, are not particular about where they get their nectar. If they can't get their big old heads inside a corolla, cause the corollas too little, they chew a hole in the base of the corolla and slurp out the nectar that way. They do this lots with sages, Salvia.
