Thanks, Debra, that's exactly what I'm looking for -- the plants that are literally buzzing with bees for others. I'd forgotten that my plain jane common oregano was also pretty buzzy this year. I don't have a lot of luck with perovskia, but I do have one struggling plant that I'll try to nurse back to life. Do you cut it back hard in the spring as I've read several times? Mine never quite recovers from that, so perhaps is not a good strategy in my area. Or it may like a more alkaline soil, I'm pretty acidic.
I want to live in a world where the chicken can cross the road without its motives being questioned.
