Purple-flowering raspberry
Originally uploaded by wereldmuis.
While letterboxing on Sleeping Giant today, I came across this interesting plant. After a bit of hunting, I think I've identified it as a purple-flowering raspberry. It was very attractive to insects. Here, a very small insect is getting drunk on pollen. A larger bee kept hovering around, and would often kick this smaller insect out of the way to start its own frantic pollen harvest.
There are a few of these flowering plants currently blooming along the red circle trail.
