      Thank you, Anne. It is interesting to note that we have over 400 species of native pollinators here. I generally only note a few, but good to know there are more.

    Gorgeousl garden shots and garden Eliza. Have to let you know, in spite of our 100 foot clearance of vegetation outside our fences for fire prevention, we now had to clear a 5 feet perimeter of all plants lovingly nutured around all three of our buildings. 17.5 years of tending bulbs, perennials, natives, all that flower, all that are prospering and reproducing. I’m paving paradise and putting up a parking lot.

    You’ve created a lovely gallery of pollinators. We will be forever in their debt.

    Nice collection of pollinators at work. Wondering what the ones in picture #4 are? Looks like summer is in full swing up north there!

      Thanks, Barbara. These are from my archives over a few years, so not all in attendance today. Not sure of the ID of the beetles on the deer bane flowers. They are only about 1/8″ long, tiny!

    The variety of pollinators, the association of many with specific flowers, and the creative ways they find to nurture themselves and do their work is truly amazing.

    Nice capture, Eliza! While the bees (and the hummers) are always active here, I’m finally seeing some butterflies with the arrival of warmer (hot!) temperatures.

    Thank you for sharing the message of pollinator week and some of your pollinators and flowers. I’m seeing far fewer insects this year than in years past, and am very concerned.

    Hi Eliza! I’m Karen. Found my way over from Robin’s blog – Breezes at Dawn- in search of active bloggers and wow what a beautiful blog you have! Your flowers are gorgeous. Love this space for pollinators. I actively gardened in my past. Now I live in an apartment but I still do what I can with small space and containers.

      Hi Karen, thanks for stopping by and checking out my blog. While I certainly enjoy seeing the fruits of my labor, I find the most joy in hearing a buzzing, humming garden. 🙂
