Now I know how wonderful it feels to be this close to a flower. Being a bee is a really good career choice. Looking forward to seeing more of your beautiful summer observations.

They are used a lot in the typical English designed gardens.They smell horrible but make up for that with their looks. 😉
Only had a short return of the sun unfortuanatly , been raining so much again, and it starts to feel like harvest without even having a real summer 😦
