Sunny Yellow. Lasioglossum sp., Furrow Bee, on Poached Egg Plant, Limnanthes douglasii, Hortus Botanicus, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Poached Egg Plant's scientific specific goes back on David Douglas (1799-1834), the great botanical explorer of the American West (www.flickr.com/photos/87453322@N00/54122518007/in/photoli...). Think, too, of the Fir Tree which carries his name in English. It was named for him in 1833. Here in the Hortus it's being visited by an avid Furrow Bee.
