curiocritters, to wildflowers

Why #wildflowers matter to you - a story in three 📸

#MastodonNatureCommunity meet Clitoria ternatea, or the butterfly pea.

Native to a smol #indonesian island, this little vine has an almost pantropical distribution, growing wild in parts of #india , and #asia.

curiocritters,

But we aren't going to focus on the lurid #latin of this pretty flower's #botanical name.

Instead, here's a native #bee about to make headway into one of the blossoms, to drink deeply of its #nectar, and 'bee' (pardon the pun) on its merry way - to do what it does best - #pollinate!

curiocritters,

Folks, #pollinators like #butterflies
and #bees #pollinate every second morsel of #food we eat!

And having #wildflowers around in our great #cities ensures that they do well, and in the process, ensure that we eat well.
