Look at those delicate wings. Almost transparent yet with amazing strength and resilience.
Bees I just love them 🐝 they’ve given me a lot of joy watching as they hover around the oregano plant which is laden with tiny white flowers.
With a garden full of bright, larger flowers you’d think they’d be all over those but no! There’s always at least one bee hard at work among the oregano flowers, after the nectar I think rather than collecting pollen.
The hover flies get into the act too and both are regular visitors to the water bowls. They seem quite fearless.
Lindsay removing another tree to make way for a lovely bird-attracting grevillea. A hybrid which is supposed to produce big red flowers most of the year. We’re aiming to make our wee garden more and more bird and insect-friendly. I’ve already planted another grevillea which flowers most of the year. The veggie space is being reduced - sorry veggies (because we’ll be away a good part of the year).
