Stopping by to check on the herb garden I strolled through the pollinator garden today. Here's what's happening there this lovely morning. Lots of blooms and nectar sources surround the water fountain.

| Bee in the blossom tentatively ID'd as a squash bee (Peponapis pruinosa) |
Also seen was an eastern blue-tailed butterfly. My photo is with wings closed as they rarely rest with them open. A reference photo shows the beautiful blue seen as they flit about.
Some plants are set to send out the next set of blooms to provide nectar in the near future.

Thanks to Laurie Collins and to all who help with the Pollinator Garden.
