Friday Afternoon Garden Club 7.30.2010

English lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), Russian sage (Perouvskia artiplicifolia) and fernbush (Chamaebatiara millefolium)

It’s FAC time in The Art Garden!  Grab your favorite beverage and pull up a chair.  You didn’t really want to work this afternoon anyway, did you?  Leave a comment to join the garden party.

Today’s topic: 

Honeybee heaven!  This collection of plants, now in full bloom, is covered with honeybees and other pollinators.  What's the bee magnet in your garden right now?

These fernbush flowers have a delightful, light fragrance. Slightly sweet, with pine and sage overtones.
