HEUCHERA FLOWERS ATTRACT BEES
I've often seen lists of flowering plants that attract pollinators, such as bees and hoverflies, but the truth is there are always a lot more flowers to do that job than you see on those lists. Sometimes I am amazed at what attracts these lovely insects into my garden. Take, for example, the heuchera flowers. Who would have thought that such a tiny, almost insignificant flower, on a plant that is grown predominantly for its foliage, could be such a bee magnet yet, yesterday, it was obvious. So many bees and so very active. Out of about 400 shots, this was the most in focus that I managed to get. Those bees don't half move fast!
