Water for the Bees


This may look nasty but the bees love it - the water gets just dirty enough to suit them. Rock and stick for sitting and sipping.






And on the pretty side, some flowers blooming in my yard right now.




Gardenias - the smell is overwhelming. My Aunt Rena rooted two plants for me several years ago.







Hydrangea - I have rooted several bushes from this plant by putting a brick on a limb. By the next year, it's rooted and ready to be moved.






Bee Balm - the bees love this and I keep splitting and moving so I'll get more and more plants.








And Roxy - resting. It's a hard life at my house.
