Bees on Blue Geraniums.

The bees are arriving here too now! Its so good to see them at last. I've actually seen a few butterflies...only cabbage whites...but didn't see hardly any last year, so that's also good news. I love this geranium, the colour is terrific. :)

Isn't it gorgeous - is it Magnificum?

I also wondered if it is G. magnificum as ours seems to be alive with Bees all day!

Hi CK Sterra and Shirley I really don't know the name but it looks so pretty at the moment. I've seen two butterflies so far this year.

They love it don't they?

Gorgeous colour .

I have noticed a massive increase in the numbers of bees here since my geraniums started flowering this week. This one looks exactly like g. Magnificum. Could be 'Rosemoor' or the species.

Hi Waddy, Thrupennybit and Ck. Nice that there seems to be an increase in the bee population this year. Thanks for the info.

I have a small lavender hedge in my front garden Lindak every year soon as it starts flowering its full of loads of a variety of bees no one dare walk by it they go onto the road as my front garden is small and open no fencing or gate if you want to attract lots of bees go for the old fashioned Lavender.

I bet that hedge smells great Threepennybit.

Yes from all up the lane as well.

Yes 3d lavender is fantastic for them. It doesnt flower here until July, so geraniums are perfect in the meantime!

I have a trough with 3 little lavenders in...think it's heathcote??? Two lavenders in the back garden and two in the front.
