At the moment Echinops bannaticus is a real bumblebee magnet!
In reality it is shiny and very black.
Cream white Aconitum is blooming. It is probably A. lycoctonum subsp. neapolitanum.
Wishing you a sunny weekend!

VastaaPoistaDearest Riitta; Your BLACK hollyhock is so gorgeous; I thought they fits the best as a summer flower♡♡♡ Like your friend said pollinators must be really busy and happy for their buzzing time V(*^.^*)V And I love the way you said they are the "magnet".
