Viper`s-bugloss on a sunny Sunday

The slopes of Holywell Eastbourne are covered in this glorious plant  Here that loves the sandy and chalk soil of the area, the bees are visiting the plant in large numbers too which is lovely to see.
A nice sunset rounded off a sunny day here with light winds and a pleasing temperature of around 20c

    You've solved a riddle David. I was photographing this at the plot last week but none of us knew the name of it.

    Your bee pictures are great. i love the creatures but they usually move so fast (and generally straight towards my face), for me to get a good look at them.

    Beautiful colour. Was the flying bee intentional or a lucky coincidence?

    Sue and Jean I work on the basis that if you fire off a burst of enough photos you will get lucky with one this one took a burst of 6
