It was warm enough today to spend a few hours in the garden. It was so nice to be outdoors again sorting and tidying, gardening, if you get the bug, really is addictive. Julie had bought three Harvington Yellows hellebores at East Lambrook Manor yesterday. We'd watched insects, bees mainly, coming to these yellow flowers in preference to other colours. Why that was I'm not sure, can it just be the colour which attracted them? We'll see in our own garden as these three are now planted in a clump next to some purple hellebore. Which colour will insects prefer? I'll only know by sitting and observing, with a cup o tea of course.
