#pollinators

22 posts18 participants0 posts today

The #coltsfoot is out! It lives in the sandy areas alongside our road. I was so startled when we first moved here - what were these #dandelions doing out so early??

But they aren’t dandelions. The flowers do look different if you examine them closely, as do the stems that hold them up. Plus, the leaves don’t even make an appearance until the weather has warmed up, and those don’t look anything like dandelion leaves at all.

Does anyone know which #pollinators come to these? Our vernal miner bees aren’t even out yet, as far as I can tell.
