Stunning! And great "bee magnets" aren't they? :)

Yes, Crazidi - one has just started opening, it's at the punk stage and is already very popular with the bees.

Nearly as popular as the leek flowers, Bonkers.
Thanks, Jacque.

Do bees like leek flowers then Wagger?

They love them, Bonkers - I've let a patch go to seed this year and they are continually covered with bees, hoverflies etc (when it's not raining).
