Interesting read. While gardening isn’t my passion (yet?) we’re blessed to have enough space for a variety of flowers. We do have plenty of ornamentals that are non-native. The bees do like them but they literally go crazy over the native species. Lavender, rosemary, catmint, rosehip, marshmallow, you name it, the bees love it. It’s fun looking at how many different species of bees and other insects visit them. We’re slowly going for planting more native species in our yard and making a wildflower garden just for them.
