pollinating through the Susies [Explore'd]
I was annoyed at myself when I downloaded these to my computer. I hadn't used my tripod but thought I was keeping still enough to get a few shots of the bees as they were making their way through the little Susies. Oh well, at least I captured the little critter.
Long before its prevalence as an ornamental, the black-eyed Susan was highly valued for its medicinal properties. Reports note that the pre-colonial Native American tribes like the Ojibwa, Chippewa, Menominee, and Potawatomi tribes utilized (and perhaps still do) black-eyed Susans as herbal medicine.
Black-eyed Susans are considered a symbol of encouragement and motivation, which can be attributed to the plant’s adaptability and widespread availability.
