Native Blue Banded Bee.

18 years ago

I reckon the Blue Banded Bee like the Blue Salvia.

And the White Salvia also.

A much bigger and chunky bee than the Non-Native Honey Bee.

Flowers and birds would be delightful, to cheer me up in these gray days. The snowbanks have been washed away and the promised snow seems to slide by Toronto. Good in some ways but drab.
Looking forward to your lovely photos.
Thanks.

Sorry to hear that Inga that's the worst about Winter I had a email from my Brother-in law up the top of England this morning and he said the weather is frightful but even worse on the East Coast as they are copping the icy blasts from Russia.

I will put some more on in a few hours as I am on two other forums Gardening and Art where I post heaps.
Here is one to go on with..

Melastoma affine common name Native Tibouchina in flower now.
