Bee on Veronica longifolia

This Veronica attracts bees. I counted 8 on the plant this afternoon.

Lovely photo.
Good to know the bees like this.

I've never grown Veronica.
Are they hardy perennials ?

Yes, Tt - they are really good border plants, hardy and a good shape. I use those rings on a cane to support the taller ones. You can get white, pink, red, purple and blue ones in various sizes! Very useful.

I'll have to look at my Veronica to see if there are any bees on it.

Nice plant and the bee goes so well with it.

Shame they don't 'match', isn't it! Mind you, if they did, the bee would have been camouflaged! LOL.

Watch out for offers, Tt - I got a set of Veronicas as plugs to grow on quite cheaply, three different colours, three of each, then they gave me three more! They've done really well. That was in the paper, I think.

Okay, I'll do that. Thanks.
Your salvias are budding, despite their leaves being chewed by mystery bugs.... those giant beetles I reckon. Lol.

Yes, I kept one and potted it on and it has a flower almost open! I don't have giant beetles, I'm glad to report...only 'orrible snails! They have a munch, too.
