Pacific Ninebark, Physocarpus capitatus (Rosaceae) 🌸🌳 The genus name comes from the Greek Physa (bladder) and carpos (fruit), describing the inflated follicle fruits. The flowers are in a capitate inflorescence. It was believed that this tree had nine layers of bark. 🌿 #physocarpuscapitatus #physocarpus #pacificninebark #rosaceae #plants #botany #plantid #plantidentification #plantphotography (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx-zZl1Azzv/?igshid=1a4d4nm6xi9d4

Mining bee on the captivating white flower clusters of Pacific ninebark. A native shrub that goes in and out of bloom in the blink of an eye. If you are lucky enough to come upon one when the time is right, it is quite a show. #andrena #miningbee #physocarpuscapitatus #pacificninebark
