Pernicious weeds that us gardeners are sometimes the bain of our lives are also a source of food for bees and insects.
Perhaps we should treat our weeds like our cultivated garden plants and live with them? Well some of them anyway.
Heads up: It's apparently a Buff tail Bumble Bee. Not many people know that!🤔
Most so-called "weeds" have a special beauty as your picture of the ground elder proves.
ReplyDeleteIndeed they do YP. They are wildflowers that have chosen to live with our cultivated garden plants.
ReplyDeleteIt does have a very pretty flower. It would be good if it could be tamed 😉
ReplyDeleteVery similar to the Elder tree but no relation apparently. It could probably be tamed in a plant pot.
ReplyDeleteA buff tailed bumblebee. Delightful. How nice of you to cultivate it's favourite weed
ReplyDeleteThe Ground Elder grew itself Linda. I am starting to see wildflowers/weeds in a different light.
