Insects

Ideal for a late burst of energy Clarice some insects may hibernate over winter and this will be a great boost to them.

Our ivy similarly covered.

looking great carol and my flowering ivy has lots of insects etc making the most of food :o))

Lovely pictures Carole and good to see lots of insects still around.

Nice pics. Clarice... lots of busy buzzing on there :o)

It is good to see them all filling up, think weather starts to change tomorrow.

Lovely pics Carol seems to have been a good year for Fatsia flowers?

Agree my Fatsia as done really well this time.

You've some lovely photos there, Clarice and a very attractive Fatsia. Sounds like you have had better weather than we had here this morning, drizzle! Sun has broken through now but a bit late :)

Lovely photos not wrong with them at all very clear love the amount of insects you have there storeing for winter.

lovely blog. its great seeing so many insects still.

Lovely blog and photo's Carol, We saw a huge bubblebee wafting around the garden this morning, making the most of our Hebe flowers!

Cheers every one.

I love to watch the insects in the garden. I have an Erysimum "Bowles Mauve" and throughout the Summer its always covered in different types of bees. I would like to have a Fatsia but I don`t have the space for one. :o(

Have a look at the variegated one, posted by Bonkersbon, Labdancer, it's smaller and might fit in somewhere :)

With Fatsia, do they need to mature for a few years before they flower? I bought one new at start of year and it not flowering at moment.....
