This picture of the bee in the mauve poppy was taken in December but the one of the butterfly in the marigold was taken last week when the fine weather brought a few butterflies to the garden. There are still bees around but with not many flowers in the garden they must have flown to other gardens. There are still a few flowers on the budlia and that is attracting the butterflies. Strangely enough the white butterflies - there are too many of them looking for brassicas to lay their eggs on- do not go anywhere near the budlias. I have pruned back the budlia bush in the outside garden as it was getting too leggy.
