sad to say that people do not know the plants and they simply destroy everything in their gardens, which isn´t grass...
Isn't that interesting. Weed in Austria, $5.00 perennial in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, Wildflower in Utah, USA.
it is after blooming ... and your spotting is a Knautia arvensis
you plant them? in austria this is weed, becoming more rare sighting every year
Here in Atlanta, GA - I plant them as perennials.
yeah that´s a widowflower - nice shot, I have no idea about the bee though
