User's notes

Flowers at this site have all been heavily grazed or lost completely this season. the site is now much more heavily shaded than it was in 2022 when pollinators were observed and a number of plants produced capsules. First 4 photos taken 21 August, last one on 11 Aug. The column often remains after the rest of the flower is eaten.

That first photo makes me think of a child who refused to eat the crust of their sandwich.

The boss often goes first. It must be tasty!
