After capturing a nice white blossom with red center, I spotted a rare double blossom in the original lavender color. Then, for the first time in several years, I found a Bumble Bee on one of the blossoms. In recent years, all I have found were Carpenter Bees. So, I decided that my Friday flower should consist of all of these.
