Visitor on Dahlia coccinea.

I agree . . . I sat for half an hour one afternoon and was delighted with the number of Bees on the Dahlia flowers.

They're all over my singles grown from seed, Shirley - a real favourite as you've noticed. A wonderful time-waster.

Indeed ... :o)

Lovely to see..that dahlia is a lovely warm red, Ange.
I’ve noticed a real swarm of bees enjoying the plants this week..

Still no butterflies to speak of, sadly.

I’ve seen a few, Ange..
