A clump-forming perennial Symphyotrichum 'Prairie Sky' has small pinky mauve flowerheads with centres that have a paler shading. The flowers were popular with the local bees.

Even at the start of November in the UK, here is a bee harvesting pollen from a Centaurea flower. I am quietly proud of my contribution to the bees through my garden.

The industrious little leafcutter bee, taking resting on a calendula leaf after having cut a disc of leaf from another plant.
It was a hot day in Ireland today and the leafcutter was busy. I'm not sure what plant it was targeting but on each occasion it would fly to a particular corner of the garden and rest on calendula or tomato leaves for approximately one minute before flying off again.
In between cutting leaves of course they are busy collecting pollen from various flowers in the garden.

Will water freely flow in the future at all on the map? —- The bag of filmy plastic is bulging, clean not gritty. I recycle carefully: so my progeny, of any ethnicity, will be able to share food or…

Plant of the Day

This seed mix was developed to be attractive to bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects and contains both annual and perennial plants. A major annual component is Phacelia tanacetifolia (scorpion weed, purple tansy, fiddle neck, fernleaf fiddle neck) which is often grown as a green manure.

These are the new Agastache that I hope will providing a bit of late summer interest in future years. They are supposed to be drought tolerant, which can only help as summers get hotter and drier. I have not planted them into my border yet as the ground needs a bit more rain first, but if I plant them this Autumn, they should have established a little by next summer - and therefore not need watering EVERY day…
