Plant I.d.

[Curly green finger's]

I was wondering what this plant was, the girls were making it hum late summer.
Cheers mark.

The last picture is borage and this has been my first year with planting borage on the headland of one of the fields , I didn't realize how long it flowers for and also how much the honey bee's like it .
I watched my bee's foraging on it at 530am back a few weeks ago .
Thanks
Mark.

Looks like Great (Hairy) Willowherb - Epilobium hirsutum. Common in damp ditches and watersides etc. Also a large plant, regularly over 5ft tall.

Thanks for that , it is growing in damp ditches . In four years I've not seen the bee's foraging On it , there's been lots of it around this year more than I've ever seen the same goes for the rosebay , and HB .

There is a great app for your smart phone called "Plantsnap" you focus on the flower which it looks up in it's database and hey presto !
And I have just used it on th screen image and is confirmed Epilobium hirsutum as "Codlins and Cream"

That's an app I'll have to investigate.

Looked up Great willow herb earlier in the year. Then looked up codlings which are cooking apples or possibly crab apples.

An experienced beekeeper near me told me that when the bees work Great Willowherb that's the end of the summer flow for him (in his part of Wiltshire)
