Bumblebee + Cuphea

I was spending a few quiet moments in my pollinator garden, and I spotted this bumblebee go head-first into this Cuphea bloom in search of pollen and nectar! This plant is a favorite among pollinators, and it is incredibly heat-resistant, which has been especially valuable during the hot summer we’ve had in my area!
