Very neat Mellie! That purple porterweed looks like it gets a lot of action. I'm looking forward to seeing some of your bees, Fauna!
I just found this interesting bee research site. It is primarily about bees in the San Francisco Bay Area in CA, but has some plant lists and other info that might be of interest

Here is the main site: http://nature.berkeley.edu/urbanbeegardens/index.html
Here is their plant list: http://nature.berkeley.edu/urbanbeegardens/list.html

A few other plants that seemed pretty popular this year with the bees were sedums, oregano, salvia, and veronica. I don’t know much about bees or butterflies, but I’m curious about all the activity in my little garden, and want to learn more!
