Agastache foeniculum 2, Anise Hyssop, GFG, Howard County, Md

Are any mints not attractive to bees? Probably, but I can't think of any off the top of my head. Here, is a great one, Agastache foeniculum, Anise Hyssop (aka Blue Giant Hyssop). Particularly loved up by bumble bees in my yard. It doesn't occur naturally in MD, but I have just potted up some seedling yellow giant hyssop, which is native to Maryland, and will compare. Mints seem always good for a good bee show. Better than TV for sure. Specimen and photo by Helen Lowe Metzman.

We Are Made One with What We Touch and See

We are resolved into the supreme air,

We are made one with what we touch and see,

With our heart's blood each crimson sun is fair,

With our young lives each spring impassioned tree

Flames into green, the wildest beasts that range

The moor our kinsmen are, all life is one, and all is change.
