Cynoglossum grande

            Cynoglossum grande—Pacific hound's tongue. "Large solitary bees alight / And are still,  while they sip / From the blue corollas. / Humming fuzzy flies probe / The floral nectaries  with /  Their probosci / Exactly as long as the floral tubes" —Wayne T. Williams, "Kissing the Hand of the Dead" (Bloomington, IN, 2013).  Photographed at Regional Parks Botanic Garden located in Tilden Regional Park near Berkeley, CA
