Cathy of Words and Herbs has presented a challenge to cheer us all up:
From Sunday the 22nd through to Saturday the 28th let’s share a photo a day (or more than one if you like) of our flowers and gardens and brighten up this dreary time.”





Day 5 flowers with butterflies and bees. A super cheerful sight.

Gorgeous photos Dorris! Your butterflies are so vivid. I didn’t see a comma this year but lots of red admirals. Have a great day Dorris!
Oh how lovely. I’ve never seen a comma but had a Red Admiral once five years ago. Bees seem to really like echinacea.
Thanks. Echinacea are good magnets for bees
A wonderful and cheering set of images, Dorris. Not only do I miss flowers, but their attendant pollinators as well. Thanks for sharing these. 🙂
Oh I am glad you enjoyed them Eliza. Thanks
Oh those wonderful butterflies – they make me, if anything, even happier than the flowers! Thanks! I’ve never seen a Red Admiral in the garden – something to ask Santa for?
Oh that is nice to know. Not sure Santa can bring you butterflies but maybe he could bring you Asters which will bring the butterflies to you.
We have the asters – and the butterflies are really beginning to come. So perhaps I’ve been my own Santa!
How lovely
Fabulous magnets for fuzzy bees and butterflies. Always a factor to consider when choosing new plants for the garden 😄
Absolutely. Thank you
Dorris, these photos just buzz with life! 😉 Truly, I think your visitors are superb.
Ha! I like what you did there. Thanks 😊
I was just about to suggest that your garden can’t be all brown after all, but then realised that I must have been confused by the asters – and that you haven’t really got leucanthemella and echinacea and buddlea and butterflies in your garden at the moment…
Nope
Brown
I think you have convinced me that it is but a sea of brownness 🙄…just think of those tulips instead… 🌷🌷🌷
I am really looking forward to them
