There are some encouraging signs, today. Oregano in bloom is always a big attraction for all sorts of bees and tiny wasps. Echinacea is a bee favorite too. Bees love borage. Cosmos and Zinnias are also attractions. There's a hummingbird in there sipping at that zinnia. I just bought this "Sombrero" series echinacea. No insects on that yet, but I like it. A zinnia with a bumblebee.
Excellent foto series, Daniel. We choose the same flowers, except we have no zinnia’s this year. This is a great thread, perhaps it will give fellow gardeners the motivation to plant some of the same…as well as show what they have growing. I could sit and look at this all day long.
Great pics Daniel, i grow cosmos,pot marigolds, lupins, snapdragons, verbena Bonariensis, Knautia, lavender and Japanese anemones. A lot of open flowers are great for the insects.
