My Obedient Plant is blooming and while it is not very "obedient" it is a bee magnet and also a lovely plant to photograph. This image is without bees but I got my hovering bee shot right by these. It is also known as False Dragonhead, possibly because of it's resemblence to Snapdragons. It get's it's Obedient name because the flowers can bend in any direction. Hummingbirds are also attracted to this plant but I have not seen one at it yet. It is in the mint family.
reminds me at quick glance of a fox glove plant
