Thank you Dawn

Hi Jane/Ray. So pleased the seeds did well for you and the bees :-) Mine have flowered and are now turning brown, I hope the gold finches are happy with them too.

As you can see only just flowering here but a lovely plant so wildlife friendly sure it will be appreciated during winter months.

Pretty, arent they Jane, a couple of mine are a bit horizontal though after the winds last week.

Its lovely good to see the bees enjoying them.

Sure its Six, was just saying to Jane, when we've supplied the plants for the wildlife, its so good to see it working.

Ours too Dawn but the heads have a way of pointing upwards despite that aye Sixpence we have such a selection inc those bees that cut perfect semi circles out of leaves.

I ve had those on my climbing rose this year, by the way Rhubarb and Custard Dawnsaunt would love some freebies, her favourites. lol

I get bees on my teasel, hoping to get some more seed of mine to grow some more next year, mind you dont know if they come back every year, but will get some seed just incase.

Jane, I've checked my horizontal teasels today and you're right, the flower heads are vertical :-)

Lol Sixpence
Clarice..they do self seed....but may be as well to collect seed anyway :o)
Yes Dawn...good to know they havent been entirely lost !

Thank you both......

Brilliant Ray, the bees are certainly busy this year.

Certainly are Doctorbob...and a good thing too.......

Maybe the weather, here, in Glasgow, but we seem to have a shortage of flying/pollinating insects in recent years. Even houseflies are scarce.

Same here Mouldy....definitely low on bees etc last year....despite trying to plant to encourage ! Still will keep on trying though..

We were importing honey from as far away as China, a few years ago.
Was that due to a bee shortage, 'cos I know that's a prob we have, or was it something to do with GM?
I can't seem to recall, Bonkersbon.
