I too was "buzzed" by one of the 'visitor' today. Just as I reached for a tall branch of Turk's cap to take a cutting for my indoor flower vase. Then I heard the familiar buzzing sound. Needless to say I changed my mind about taking cutting since they're still around and needing those flowers for nectar. So no Turk's cap were brought inside today.

I love those firespikes, but for the last two years they stopped blooming for me. Year before I thought I kept them in the shade, so last year I gave it more sun. Neither year worked, so plan a. and b. failed, now I need to rely on plan c. likes Marna has said. Give it a good dose of fertilizer. lol.
