A Monarch, a Bumblebee and a purple flower!

The Monarch I was capable of identifying, but the bumblebee I can't because there are too many different species that show up in my yard. I remember the name of the flower but I can't get it right now.

    You are quite right and they are commonly called coneflowers. Posted 10 years ago
