Hi, fancyvan - glad you have joined in and I'd love to see some more pix! Yes, echinops is a great one for bees too - in our yard, a huge white Salvia nemorosa 'Snow Hill' (and to some extent, S. transylvanica - also very extravagantly-blooming, in purple) kept hordes of bees busy for most of the summer, until the echinops, sea holly and Thymus serpyllum came along later on... I really enjoy watching them.

Geranium himalayense is a good, steady bloomer and is still at it.... while beginning to show a little of that wonderful red fall colour, common to geraniums...
