Am now wondering... can't remember if it was here I read that buttercup flowers are no good for pollinators, including bees... now... if that is the case, and there being several score buttercups at the plot, have seen ONE bee, two mosquitos and a fly, over a few weeks, am extrapolating that buttercups could be emanating some noxious chemical which keeps pollinators away, so... what if.. I chop off all the buttercups, leaving marigolds, dandelions and the pollinator friendly blue/purple flowers such as marsh lily and bee lily?

Only one way to find out. will decapitate buttercups.

will report.

After being rather noisy this morning with the mower, I thought it was time to stop, breathe, and take in my surroundings. I don't honestly think I've ever seen so many buttercups in one place, even from when I was a kid growing up in the countryside. Only 10 seconds, as the nearby road ruins the tranquility at an annoying rate, but here it is. Sound up.
