The buttercups are beautifully in bloom at the moment, here are some photos from earlier today in Colinton and Craiglockart Dells
(in the photo above, you can also see comfrey, which is covered in bees at the moment, which is lovely, as there seem to be fewer bees than usual this year, probably partly due to the strange weather, but also partly due to overall insect declines)
Buttercups are prolific around my house and yard ... some get mowed, some do not. They can be very invasive but certainly pretty and good for the bees.
ReplyDeleteI have noticed far fewer bees in my garden. I adore buttercups so thanks for the photographs.
