We mostly have a vegetable garden, but I always have other flowers around to draw pollinators. We do have a 25ft long raspberry bush that the bees really enjoy. This year we went with zinnias. We have had a wider variety of insects this year, I've posted several. We just had this guy climbing on our grill cover. American Dagger.

My makeshift Banana Guard is working... the resident squirrel and chipmunk are pissed! The husk and 1st petals to open have fallen... The husk and 1st petals to open have fallen freely to the ground, and I see no evidence that the fruit and flowers have been harmed.

The flower and fruit pictured above did not make it, they were small and weak.

This late bloom is strong and growing fast, the flower was first spotted a week ago.
The plant is nearly 20 feet tall.
