While strolling through the Bissonnette Garden during Oglebayfest, I noticed a long row of Spider Flower (scientific name: Cleome houtteana) stretching from one end of the footpath to the other.
Via iNaturalist:
This plant is native to southern South America, particularly in Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, and southeast Brazil. It has also been introduced to South Asia, including the Haor region of Bangladesh and India.
I observed a diverse array of bumblebee species and a large population of honeybees diligently collecting pollen. Witnessing these remarkable insects in action is truly a sight to behold.
