Now come on. You talk about a sweet smelling bee magnet, but no pix? No info on it? Get with it.Joe Pye Weed is also a big bee magnet in my garden. And it smells nice.

I'm actually tagging Joe Pye weed all over the pastures so I can dig up and send to Nyboy in the fall. Since there seems to be a mess of it this year, I'll probably stick a few up closer to the yard adn see how they do.

purple head of tiny blooms - tall! - wide, sawtooth leaf edges - pretty (for a "weed")

Is THAT what it's called? That stuff is rampant here. I've not been able to find out what it's called - but it's HARD to get rid of. In that pict, it's actuall a good ways from the JPW. But it's also almost in the creek bed, so that's not where I'm digging anyway.

I got some good shots of Joe Pye weed while visiting a Butterfly garden.

That doesn't look like a weed at all. I wonder if it would do well in my area. I would love that instead of the borage. The borage has those little needles that I hate, always scratching me.
