Lovely pictures on here, always something to interest me. A few pictures from our garden on a sunny Tuesday (this week). Morning Glory in deep blue and a stunning paler blue - what a pity they only last one morning and then gone. A perfect Iceberg rose climbing up a lopped willow tree on our lawn, two pictures of our tallest Ricnus (castor oil plant) at 6 foot tall and in flower with beans forming now.
Such lovely blues, @Guernsey Donkey2 This is what I've got currently in the way of blue: Clematis heracleifolia. Lots of 'blue bells' flowers, nicely scented too, and attracts bees & butterflies. What more can you ask for?
I must admit I am not a blue person, but the bees & butterflies seem to prefer blue and purple flowers too - liking Lavender, the purple Buddlea more than the white or orange, Ceanothus etc - lovely pictures Papi Jo
I know what you mean about the white buddleia @Guernsey Donkey2. Mine was totally ignored too. I wonder if it's something to do with the parts of the spectrum visible to the pollinators or maybe the white ones produce less pollen or nectar.
Well another theory bites the dust @Fairygirl ! Nothing that i could see went near my elderberry either, but it's covered in berries so something must have visited. Constant visits by wood pigeons at the moment.😐
