Not the greatest #wildlifewednesday photo there's been, but the bees loved this angelic flower. Dull looking but certainly very sweetly scented.

Oh I don’t think they’re dull! I love any umbelliferous flowers (and it’s a great word! 😂)

It’s a great photo and I love a floriferous umbellifer too 😉😂 I’m looking forward to mine flowering, though I only planted it in the autumn @rachelbrooks

Thanks Terri. Pure luck indeed, although at times, there'd be several on each flower @terrimclaughlin
