In The Rain

Obedient Plant (Physostegia virginiana) is native to a good portion of North America from Quebec to Manitoba south to Florida and New Mexico. Blooming now in early autumn providing both nectar and pollen late in the growing season for bees, buttterflies, and hummingbirds migrating to their winter homes.

Here it’s enjoying all the soft drizzle that is slowly bringing moisture back to the thirsty plants.
