Bee Bums on Bolted Radicchio

One of my radicchio plants bolted while I was gone. It makes beautiful flowers in the morning, so I’ve left it blooming. It is a fairly large plant.

I enjoyed watching this common eastern bumble bee buzz around and stop to pollinate the radicchio flowers.

  2. It’s always nice to see bee bums!

    I had never seen bolted radcchio before. I didn’t realize how much it looks like chickory. (I shouldn’t be surprised since they’re related.)
