All washed out...

I am working from home on this damp miserable day - and in my coffee break (lol), decided to see what was out and about in the garden.

I came across this poor bee, seems he is all washed out from the heavy rain we have been having.

I don't know the name of this plant - but I have only seen it in the Channel Islands, and attracts lots of bees - it seeds every year, then dies, with new plants taking two years to get to this level of growth.
