Calendula honey by blightygal

Calendula honey

My partner and I grew tons of flowers from seed this year, and one of the better displays were the Calendula's. Seems these hoverflies kinda like em too :-)
Who'd have thought we were so green fingered before? My other half hates gardening, and I've never really done it much before. If only Leeds had the bloomin weather to enjoy it!!!!
What a wonderful shot!! ;-)) makes me happy! ;-)

This is an absolutely gorgeous shot! :) And those bees are so brightly coloured! Our bees are like, not yellow at all; almost a light brown colour. xD I have bee envy!

Sweet! Gorgeous shot. And I've never seen hoverflies before. Crazy little critters.

They look good, so keep on gardening ................. You need Leeds compatible plants and the rest is done by nature.

As you say Frieda, great minds! Tho I have to say the clarity and colours in yours is much better! We have lovely sunshine and blue sky today, just right for hoverflies. I reckon yours must be waterproof ones!! :-)

I'm only just getting around to responding to comments from my project's final photo. Still taking photos of course, but not necessarily every day. Some money-making possibilities are on the horizon w/ my equine photography which is exciting :)
I feel like many of the folks on here, including you, have become like family & so I wanted to say that if you have facebook, I would love for you to add me: http://www.facebook.com/wheeler.laura
like that I can feel like I still have some of this 365 family close by.
Best of luck as you finish the project ... I promise to come back & comment from time to time :)
