"Coreopsis tintoria" and "Coreopsis tinctoria" -- Same species maybe?

The former is not in www.ipni.org (the latter is), and a Google search suggests that it is a "viral misspelling". I've removed it.--Curtis Clark 02:23, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

tickseed stunning to bumble bees

Has anyone else noticed that bumble bees are stunned nearly unconcious, by the tickseed flower? I noticed this phenonmenon in my own garden on the north shore of Long Island in July. I have attached pictures in the hopes of finding an answer to this riddle. It seems to act like an opiate on the bees. I wonder if anyone has noticed this and has an explanation. The bees are so docile under the influence of this coreopsis that one can touch their fuzzy underbelly without any reaction on their part what-so-ever. Attached are several photos of the bees hanging on in stunned silence. Please elaborate if you know more about this phenonmenon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.199.75.144 (talk) 03:14, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
