This biannual is a very popular cottage garden plant. It is quite tall, on average 1.8 m and blooms in shades of red, pink, purple, or yellow.
Capturing an image with a bee appearing to come in for a landing was a little bit lucky. In fact the bee was backing out after having done her work in the flower.
