Right in front of the medical clinic on Quadra Island, a raised bed had some surprises in store for me. I was certainly not expecting numerous bumble bees foraging on 4 patches of sage ground cover. We were meandering along the store fronts, and there they were- too busy to take any notice of the photographer. |
| Very little of the ground covers’ green leaves were visible amongst the dense layers of flowers. |

| There were numerous bumble bees present on these patches of sage. |

| The bees’ tongue is visible probing the flowers |

hi, can you tell me what the name of that ground cover is? i think it is a “sage”, but what kind? (plant name, not colloquial name)
thanks!
