I found it.



Is says it is a self pollenating plant. If that is the case does it even have nectaries to attract pollinators?

If you were barefoot, like I was, you would remember the bees in the meadows.   :shocked: :cheesy:

Nock,
I have seen my bees working it, but at the time it was a period of dearth. I have no idea if they actually get any appreciable nectar or pollen from it.  :smile:
