A good plant for the insects

How lovely nothing better than to walk in the garden and watch the bees and butterflies so therapeutic - I don't
have that plant but I shall be watching out for it - I have a host of yellow welsh poppies and the bees and butterflies love those too - lovely pictures - thankyou Seaburngirl

Those are lovely plants, good photo with all those insects on it, definitely going on my list.

Lovely to see the activity on your plant. We have centaurea dealbata and they like that too. Mostly we have hoverflies at the moment and they seem to be in love with the new 'Ghislaine de Feligonde' rose which I didn't expect as she has small flowers with multi petals. They do open up wide, though. Not much sign of butterflies at all or ladybirds.

its interesting to see how many insects love yellow. I had some yellow sheets once and when they were pegged out on the line to dry they used to attract lots of little flies and so on who seemed to enjoy just standing on them. It is quite frightening to see the dearth of insects generally this year - one or two bees, some fungus gnats and not much more. No bumbles on the foxgloves, or anywhere else. One butterfly, no ladybirds at all. Wonder what will happen to the food crops.

I don't think I've heard of that plant, must look it up, and I'll read your previous blog too since I can't remember it.
It's nice that the flowers attract insects, and I'm glad you've seen a butterfly. There seem to be fewer and fewer of them every year.

I love this plant too.mi have it in my golden border. It’s a real highlight for me in late summer.
