At last Sunflowers, bees and butterfliesAt last Sunflowers, bees and butterfliesAfter a pretty poor summer, at last we have a few sunflowers blooming. They offer the bumblebees and butterflies a little late summer nectar.
See the photo below and sort video of a butterfly feeding on one of the flowers. [youtube]19WJ2TZIenI[/youtube] Michael
Re: At last Sunflowers, bees and butterfliesEither that butterfly flew away or my computer won't open the video. There's just a little square.
The birds like the seeds in winter too. One year they popped up self-seeded on the veg plot and I let them stand over winter, except the ones I threw to the hens Dance caller. http://mo-dance-caller.blogspot.co.uk/p/what-i-do.html

Re: At last Sunflowers, bees and butterfliesAnd, that was last weekend. The good weather has persisted and there are still butterflies and bees in the garden.
