My Obedient Plants (Physostegia virginiana) are just beginning to bloom. An attractive plant in the mint family, Lamiaceae, that’s native to North America from Quebec to Manitoba south to Florida and New Mexico.

Ruby-throated Hummingbirds (Archilochus colubris) on their way to their winter homes are stopping by to enjoy the nectar.

And the seldom seen Monarch (Danaus plexippus) is attracted to its nectar as well.

Come and get it. There are many plants with pollen and nectar for you guys to relish.
