Bear Grass


Bear grass usually blooms earlier in the summer, but this one is located in part shade and that may have delayed it's flowering. It has a huge flower stalk (sometimes reaching 6 or 8 feet) with scores of individual flowers. It usually attracts every insect in range and it is often difficult to appreciate the beauty and fragrance of the flowers because of the insect feeding frenzy. This one had not been discovered when I took this picture.
