Salvia 'Victoria' is the major bee magnet in my garden and blooms all summer (my lavender doesn't).

I love watching their antics when they work away on the flowers and have only stung stung when I accidentally grabbed one when dead heading. Enjoy! Chrissy,

My husband and I have gone to England twice just to see gardens. W rented a house for a week at a time and visited 2-3 gardens in the nearby area every day. What a great garden heritage you have. We loved every minute of our visit. I am thrilled to know that you see a value in Latin; it is losing ground here. Karen How lucky you are to have bees this time of year.

I've had a lot of success attracting bees with peonies (pink, white and fuscia.) My rhodies ( a rich red) have a nice buzz about them. You got some good suggestions here. I'll work on more dahlias, zinnias and azaleas per your advice. Thanks for the motivation! Great post, Karen. I’ve had a lot of success attracting bees with peonies (pink, white and fuscia.)
