Thank you for the responses!  Yes, I was wondering where the name could
have come from, and then I noticed several unopened flowers and it was
clear!  The bees seem to really like this flower; perhaps it's 'cause
theres not much else around, altho' the willows are thick with bloom now as
well.  Nice to know what flowers the bees are taking to, makes things even
more interesting.  Thanks again   J.
