Minor rant that's not a subtoot of anyone.

Websites that are focused on "native" plants that do not clearly and unequivocally state where, are more harmful than good.

The native plants of SE Asia can be invasive in N Europe.
The native plants of N America can be invasive in N Africa.
Even the native plants of SW USA can be invasive in NE USA.

Identify the location you're talking about or well meaning people will become frustrated when they plant "natives" and have issues.

The Two-spotted Longhorn Bee (Melissodes bimaculatus) is another one of my frequent garden visitors. You can see a male in the middle of a Showy Evening Primrose Oenothera speciosa) and a female hovering close by Lemon Beebalm (Monarda citriodora.)
