Choosing the right flowers.

Hi, from where I'm sitting I can smell the burnt, sweet aroma of laser cut Mdf. My 2nd attempt at a jigsaw is sitting in a plastic bag at the side of the laptop here. But that's skipping ahead.  I know that bees, butterflies and other pollinators are attracted to large, open flowers where they can easily get to the nectar, and after some more research I drew up a list of flowers to include in the final piece and then chose from that - looking for variety of shape and colour.  So...(these photos I had taken earlier in the year).

Purple Coneflower and Small Tortoiseshell

Bees on Thistles.
