      Thanks, Monika, they put on quite the show. Quite prolific, I’m always giving clumps away and still seem to have too much. But this is why I give them a big space in the garden, happy bees. 🙂

      Thank you, Alice. It is hard to get a shot, as they are constantly moving! I tried to get one that was covered with bees, but it didn’t come out that well. 🙂

    I’ve failed with Echinops ritro 3x now but was thrilled when Eryngium planum popped up with the promise to give me another run this year after a good show last year. Sadly, it doesn’t look like it’s going to make it through the summer – at least the bees other sources of nectar.

    Nice shot! I love seeing the sunlit veining in the bee’s wings and the close up patterns in the thistle globe. 🐝

    The colour and detail in the flower is beautiful and the bee looks right at home.
