Buddleias?? Are you serious? I can't say I've ever seen a bee on a
buddleia. Only butterflies. Possibly the flowers are too deep for the
bee to dip its tongue in? I shall investigate more closely!


Sorry, I have no idea as it's been years since I had one. I was just thinking
of flower colour. Salvias would be good if I didn't keep killing them. And
there's hebe, too.
