xenithSpent some time yesterday following bees around the garden. The bumble bee buzzed off after a short while, but the honey bees hung around. Annoying little buggers to focus on though.
They liked the yellow fennel flowers, which was handy because they were at a convenient height. I don't know which variety of fennel it is. I had bronze fennel, with long, red plumes of leaves, which is an attractive plant, if almost as weedy as the wild sort, I've also got a battered Florence fennel, the one with the swollen base, which somehow escaped the devastation that hit my potted plants in early January :( This flowering thing is tall and green. Either the seeds from one reverted back to the wild form, or it's a hybrid of the two.
The purple flowers are oregano, which is quite closer the ground and therefore is harder to get photos from.
