Ohhh how it feels timely to create a post about flowers – good for the spirit (mine and hopefully yours).
When planting flowers from seed I tend to favour varieties that attract beneficial insects to the garden – love those bumble bees and lady bird bugs.
Here are some of my favourite bee & ladybug attracting flowers:
* Marigolds
* Zinnia California Giants
* Cosmos
* Sunflowers
Some bee only attracting flowers I love:
* Poppies
* Salvia
* Roses
* Cornflower
* Lawn chamomile
* Alyssum
* Chives
Flowers are a gift. Now don’t you feel refreshed and uplifted?
Beautiful additions! I’ve been training my pooch to not attack or eat pollinators. Mixed results.
