Flowers! I hope the pollinators like them but honestly I havenโ€™t seen many. #Flowers #BloomScrolling #Rudbeckia #Gardening #RoseCampion #BlackEyedSusan
@littlemiao wow, they are beautiful ๐Ÿ˜
@kjr Thank you! I am so glad they are growing for me!
@littlemiao oh these are really pretty colours ๐Ÿ˜

@littlemiao

Where I am, there pollinators are a lot more active early in the morning than later in the day.

@Rhyothemis that could be the case here too. I usually water in the evening. In past years the beebalm gets busy with bees in the evening but so far not that I have seen.

@littlemiao

Well, I hope they are out there in the morning where you are. I was concerned a few weeks ago since I hadn't seen as many, but then got out earlier to water b/c of the heat and was relieved to see them - many small wasps and flies. Perhaps not as many bees as last year. In addition to heat in summer we also got a some hard freezes last winter. I'm supposed to be watering right now - better go.

@Rhyothemis I wonder if the smoke haze hurt them here? Also possibly the drought? I hope the precious little creatures pull through, they face so many challenges ๐Ÿ˜ฟ . I will try going out early morning to see if I can spy anyone buzzing about.
@littlemiao these are beautiful! You do you know about the florespondence hashtag? It's also really good for flowers!
@raf that might be the prettiest sounding hashtag. I should start following it too!
