A Shrubby Germander (Teucrium fruticans) welcoming bees and other pollinators in the Regent's Park in winter. A little early but there were bees in the vicinity though.

To continue with our extensive coverage of Tree Germander news and issues, it is important for you to hit like on the PBDJ Tree Germander posts, so that we know to continue with this level of capital investment in Tree Germander reporting at the PhotoBlogDuJour Multi-Horticultural Center and Kimono Dragon/Orangutan Breeding Compound. If the likes do not follow, we will be forced to excavate major portions of the acreage currently planted with Tree Germander and replace them with something that brings in the likes, such as Brazilian Dutchman's pipe, Giant Padma or corpse flowers.

Tree Germander. Hopefully not named for Caligua, Gaius Caesar Germander.

Getting your buzz on. I just love the colors in this one.
