Today I will show you "The Island", a refuge of wildflowers in a rather unpromising location.
A mass of ox eye daisy, with corncockle, cornflower, scabious and poppies thrown in, it is full of bees of all kids - today's special find was a buffish mining bee.
The air quality isn't so good though, as you might gather from a traffic island surrounded by two dual carriageways.

What a lovely bee. So much better than having the "island" covered in tarmac or concrete.
ReplyDeleteSuper traffic island Si - love that lone herbaceous geranium getting in on the act - i have it in my garden and am looking forward to the first bloom any day now.
