Lynnie, I have a lot of bumble bees but only a few honey bees. They first were all over the yellow marigolds, then the celosia, and now the autumn fire sedum. When I come out in the morning, I usually see a bumble bee asleep in the flowers. I watered yesterday morning and I tried not to disturb the one sleeping right on top of the sedum. But he got a little wet, moved over a bit, buzzed his wings to get the water off, and then he went back to sleep! Once they are asleep not much will disturb them.

Aren’t you the one that has the agastache seeds? I do have a few seeds if you would like to trade.

Yellow celosia
Autumn fire sedum (not ready yet)
Pink coneflowers
Blue ageratum
Orange moss roses
Pretty tall multi-color zinnias
Rudbeckia triloba (tall tiny black-eyed susan in a bush)
Lamb’s ear
Yellow marigolds
Orange marigolds with not as many petals

Are you interested?

Trina, I think I named all of these for you to choose.

Or if anyone else is interested.

This photo of rudbeckia was taken towards the end of their blooming.
