A beautiful little bee enjoying the flowers on my chive plant, earlier in the year. Even if you only have a balcony, you can still provide for pollinators.

If you're looking for something new to grow for #pollinators, do please consider Wild Mignonette (Reseda lutea). It's stunning alongside Nepeta & Cerinthe, flowers for months, and is a magnet for Yellow Faced bees & other short tongued solitary #bee species!

I spent hours trying to get flying things to pose nicely on flowering things, then my camera battery died and they all started posing EXTREMELY NICELY. I am blooming annoyed. Grrrrrrr. #plantsforpollinators #wildflowerhour

Small Blue butterfly on Kidney Vetch, Anthyllis vulneraria, which is its #larvalfoodplant. #plantsforpollinators #wildflowerhour

I spent some time watching this teeny wee bee (don't know which one) visiting Lesser Stitchwort, Stellaria graminea. It was fascinating to see the slender flower stalks bending over as the bee landed and the petals closing round the bee. #plantsforpollinators #wildflowerhour

Marsh Yellow Cress, Rorippa palustris, is quite prolific on the pavements of a road near where I live in Croydon. Here it is with some attendant ants. #plantsforpollinators #wildflowerhour

Starting to analyse nine years of data on interactions between pollinators and plants across two locations to assess how plants differ in their attractiveness to pollinators #plantsforpollinators #bees #pollinators

Butterfly Scabiosa are a must have for plant lovers. They flower for most of the year, supporting bees in winter and butterflies in summer while adding movement and colour to the garden 🌸

Typically orange but today it’s white. Wild Daga looking completely different and just as striking

A rare Leonotis leonurus that sunbirds love. Full sun, around 2m, tough and rewarding 🌸 #eckardsgarden #plantsforpollinators

Hello Autumn! Indigenous Cape Honeysuckle is one of the easiest shrubs you will ever grow. Its flowers draw in pollinators all day, bringing movement and life into the garden. Clip it or let it soften into a relaxed mound. Thrives in sun with very little fuss 🌸 #eckardsgarden #plantsforpollinators

Indigenous Thunbergia, the Black eyed Susan climber, flowers right through summer and autumn. Perfect for arches and frames in a sunny garden and a magnet for butterflies 🌸 #eckardsgarden #plantsforpollinators

Cape Mallow are in flower and the bees are loving them. A tall, waterwise plant for pollinators that thrives in full sun and flowers almost nonstop. Height, movement and texture in one easy shrubby perennial 🌸 #eckardsgarden #plantsforpollinators

Late summer suits Tropical Trumpet Vines perfectly. These Mandevilla climbers offer lush growth and lasting flowers while staying well behaved on frames and trellises 🌸

A cheerful pop of yellow for sunny spots. Coreopsis are buzzing with bees and bring instant summer colour 🌸

Cape Daisies are starting to bloom in our forecourt! They love cold weather and shine on blue sky days. Perfect in containers or sunny garden spots, they’ll flower right through to spring 🌸 #eckardsgarden #plantsforpollinators

So bright and cheerful the new Coreopsis Uptick is making a statement in our perennial department this week. The bees love it too! Waterwise, heat loving and easy to grow just adds to their appeal 🌸 #eckardsgarden #plantsforpollinators

The bees having a great time in our perennial department on the Coreopsis. We love these new two tone ones that came in last week. Perfect to pop into a sunny spot for some instant summer colour 🌸 #eckardsgarden #plantsforpollinators

Interesting I think but not surprising the stalwart plant 4 all kinds of insects, the #Ragwort, holding up on #SouthDowns w a few other stalwarts, in drought conditions, is not included in #RHS's list of wild #plantsforpollinators!
Saving water, insects, planet but just not enough appeal I guess 🙄

It creates a a focal point and works well with grasses or shorter forbs around it.
