Along with male Orange-tip (Anthocharis cardamines) and Holly Blue (Celastrina argiolus) butterflies, I have now seen a Peacock butterfly (Aglais io) flitting around as I garden. Yet while butterflies have been camera shy I have managed to capture bees so far his week.
Comfrey has started to flower. It is a great plant for organic gardening; used as a compost activator or to make a liquid fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Comfrey is also loved by bees, as proved by the following photos.
Photo 1; Red-tailed bumblebee (Bombus lapidarius) on Creeping Comfrey (Symphytum grandiflorum)
Photos 2 and 3; a Buff-tailed bumblebee
(Bombus terrestris) enjoying Common Comfrey (Symphytum orientale).
