bee on verbena bonariensis

sawwort with bee

29-5-2023 I had a sage plant that was looking quite sad. After taking it out from an overgrown flowerbed it had a little growth, so kept it out in the sun.

after 2 months and repotting, it looks amazing, too late for flowers I guess but looking forward to some next year

Yesterday I discovered some of my echium Blue Bedder are white.

scabiosa Mariposa Blue in the centre, white echium Blue Bedder above, usual purple/blue echium Blue Bedder below

I had one agastache growing in a pot from a seed left from last year.

greater knapweed, new bloom after lots of rain, sadly that's prevented any bees visiting

I love the pattern of the centaurea buds

The passionflower is producing fruit, not to be confused with passion fruit, I tried one once, not very nice.

fading catnip flowers, still attracting bees
