It’s late Friday afternoon here in Portland. The weather has been sunny and warm with a gentle breeze blowing at times.
While strolling through the garden a few minutes ago, I spotted this busy bee collecting pollen in these Rose of Sharon blossoms.
Bees, bumble bees and hummingbirds love this plant. It’s deciduous, hardy and covered in these giant hibiscus-like flowers from early summer through late fall.
Happy Friday and Weekend! What’s your favorite plant in your garden?

The weather was perfect on Friday. I’m going to enjoy as much of the weather today as possible before it heats up. How lucky to catch that bee buzzing about. 🙂 Have a wonderfilled weekend ahead. I’ll be right here trying to stay cool. 🙂 Hugs

Good morning Marlene! It is going to get hot again for a while, isn’t it? For the first time this summer I’ve noticed fewer bees in my garden. In years past, there have been many more. I guess we just have to keep planting things for all the pollinators to help their plight.
Have a great weekend and hugs back your way! 🙋
