One Front, One Back

Left: This cornflower aka Echinacea purpurea is having its first season in my front garden. I'm hoping to establish the flower bed with rudbeckia, salvias and grasses. I might need to expand it somewhat.

Right: The Salvia 'Dad's Brown Trousers' has featured a few times on Blip. Spotting this bee collecting nectar via a side route caught my attention. It looks like it is surrounded by pink.
