Senna and the Bumblebees

I’ve made good progress on a small wall quilt. It is machine quilted with hand embroidered details.

I’m still adding a few more satin stitch bumblebees. I’ll share photos of the finished piece next week.

I think the bees on wild senna in the yard have been Bombus impatiens / common eastern bumblebees, pale yellow fuzzy which inspired the embroidered bees.

A few others blooming, buzzing, and shining this week and are pictured below.

There’s much to learn out there and I welcome help with plant and creature I.D. and info.
