Invisible ultraviolet lights inside flowers? Yep, our plants are pretty amazing, and they have evolved to take advantage of bees in a way that benefits both the bee and the plant.

By luring bees in with the promise of nectar, they can get their pollen to the next flower to pollinate it. The nectar also gives the bees the energy to keep going, so it’s win win 💖

Here’s how to deadhead your roses to encourage more flowering.

This only works on repeat flowering roses like this Emma Bridgewater rose from (Previously gifted).

With rambling roses that tend to only flower once, leave the flowers to die back on the plant so you can get rose hips, this is a great way to feed your birds 🥰

One of my favourite things about gardening is the tiny details you notice when you stop and look. I first got into gardening out of a love of ecology, because a garden is the ultimate ecological laboratory.

Crab spiders come in a variety of species, this one I believe is a common crab spider, but there are also flower crab spiders who sit inside flowers and wait to pounce, though these are usually a white / yellow / greenish colour, which is what makes me think this is just a creative common crab spider; correct me if I’m wrong spider experts!! 😁

Fingers crossed for this crab spiders eggs 🤞

Despite what the daily mail tells you, this is nothing to worry about.

I found this cute little frog hopper climbing up my leg on the allotment, I think I must have brushed past him, but he’s back on my lavender now probably surrounded by bubbles 🥰😅

Have you seen this in your garden yet this year?
