Busy bee on Japanese Anemone.

Great close up ...

beauty . lots of bees and hoverflies this year thankfully

Thanks so much, Shirley and Paul! It was in my friends garden - they are neighbours also - we were cat sitting for some time. I’ve since bought the same one.
Yes, Paul. Lots of bees and hoverflies this year. Seen more dragonflies than usual too.

Lovely flower Kate. Lots of different bees around this year. I'm cat sitting too next week. I quite enjoy it actually and give the cat lot of love. My neighbour up the road saw a dragonfly Hawker last week.

Thank you, Linda. My own anemone is just flowering now.
I enjoyed cat sitting for our neighbours recently, hoping our Eve wasn't too 'put out' 🐈‍⬛
I'll bet your little cat/cats loved the attention!
We have a common Hawker visiting our garden regularly this summer..lovely to see! OH spotted an emperor too!

Laura is such a sweet little cat to look after and she comes when she is called. I do make a fuss of her. We saw a Hummingbird Hawkmoth yesterday. How lovely to see an Emperor Moth too.
