But wasp as pollinators are as important as bees too! As some plants evolved specially to be pollinated by certain species of wasps. The most well known example is the fig tree! These trees needs a special kind of wasp to help with their pollination!

Penstemons are one of the most valuable late summer-flowering perennials and, in all but the coldest regions, are easy and reliable.

Available in a variety of colours, they are great for pollinators!

If insects are the beating heart of our survival, flies are the aortic valve. They are nature's waste management, food source and pollinators. They are also so diverse and beautiful.

Progress on my next set of 'Everything is Connected' cards. Based on the 'weeds' I've painted this Spring and their value to our struggling pollinators. I've also researched their medicinal/edible/useful qualities for humans. All good reasons to leave them be.
