    our Geum "totally tangerine" flowers are covered in bees every day, they don't seem as keen on other varieties though??.....

    Is anyone finding the bees like geum Mrs Bradshaw? Mine don't seem interested.

    I'm ordering allium sphaerocephalon for sure. Properly perennial and don't disappear like spring flowering ones can. They self seed all over and the bees love them. What's not to love?

    Cerinthe, dill, raspberry flowers, pinks, fruit tree blossom, cat mint, lavender. Thank heavens the drought does not affect or appear to affect the bees.

    bless the busy bees!

    Now most of them are on the French and English Lavenders.

    They’re loving Veronica, Agastache and Salvia at the moment, also all my patio plants, dahlias, petunias, lobelia.
