One of my favorite flowers because it offers pollen and nectar and finally seeds. The various finches wait for and finally get the spiky seeds as soon as they are dry and prickly to the tender finger.
I have seen bees of all kinds working on the cone when the flower is in full bloom and watched them take away pollen stars packed in the pollen bags on their legs.
Remember the bees that got high from the blue morning glory?
