Aster, an autumn flowering plant, usually dying off by now, but late flowering this year, and looking good.
Supposedly to support late hibernating insects.

It's been another drab day, though a sole honeybee food make a very brief visit to the lavender, which by now has no flowers.
This photo is from my archives, and not featuring lavender plants.

It's wet, it's dismal grey and I'm still seeing some honeybees getting the last feeds from our lavender.
Photo is from my archives, and not showing a honeybee on lavender.

A very warm sunny lunchtime on the car, for the local wasps.
The car has been washed a couple of days back, but the sap from a lime tree had been deposited and the wasps were loving the sugar...
