Tithonia rotundifolia 'Torch'

DAMN IT!! #frost #tithonia #mexicansunflower

I know you probably are disappointed with the frost but it does make the flowers look pretty with a frosted icing!

The #leafcutterbee a #megachile meaning "large lipped" uses cut pieces of leaf or petal, depending on species to bring back to line their nests, all members of the #megachilidae family #carrypollen on the underside of their abdomen rather than legs, if u get a chance to check this family out u will be amazed! #bees #bee #tithonia #insect #insects #insectstinaaune #wildlifewednesday #pollen

#butterflyfriendly #tithonia #torchflower a flat top on a flower makes it easy for the butterfly to sit atop and feed😊
