Saturday Stuff

I should have looked the name of this wildflower up..it was growing by the stairs to the river...I thought it was jewelweed at first, but I thought jewelweed was orange..?
Busy bees in the garden one day this week....and on a different sort of sunflower..
I think their wings are just amazing!
****I looked up the wildflower! It is indeed a type of jewelweed! There is more than one variety of jewelweed....This one is known as Pale Touch-Me-Not.....the one I was thinking of is more orange and is called Spotted Touch-Me-Not.  Both are used as a relief for stinging nettles....and some use parts of the plant to relieve poison ivy! There......that is your wildflower lesson for today!
