I can't identify this plant. Can you? Is it a weed, or a garden escapee? |

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
It looks a bit like Russian sage, but the leaves are more deeply cut than I am used to.
ReplyDeleteNice pictures of the bumblebee in any case!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sara. Other possible is a member of the Stachys genus. I cannot tell from your photo if the stem is square.
ReplyDeleteI vote a garden escapee like the Russian Sage or one of its kin
love the fuzzy texture in the flower capsule.
Bees are always a fun subject.
Thanks, all. Yes, I think it is Russian sage.
