I have a small garden of one Tomato plant and 4 pepper plants, this is the one flowering plant.
Don't remember what the plant is, perhaps someone here will know. Has Purple stem of flowers and the bees love it, they are constantly at the blooms.
It was put in to attract the bees so the fruit/veggie plants would be pollinated which seems to be working. After winter it was cut back to the nub and it has grown back quite well.
Tall spikes of indigo blue flowers top compact mounds of soft, green foliage. This showy perennial is excellent for mixed borders, flower beds and patio containers. Thrives in areas where spring and summer nights remain cool. An herbaceous perennial.

Thank you. That probably just lowered my blood pressure several points. I really like watching nature work. I long for the day I can sit on my porch and watch the cows graze across the pasture. Instead of glancing at them on the way to/from work and feverishly chasing them around on weekends and days off.

Last year I messaged a short video of bees at work among flowers a friend planted. She was in another state and had not been doing well. But seeing nature has a way of waking up feelings that everything is OK; she reacted favorably.
I'd sure rather maintain an apiary than an aquarium!
