| | | Re: Which plant in your garden attracted the most bees today? The Fatsia japonica has been in flower for about a week now and it is starting to attract loads of wasps, bees and flies.
Not a native, unless you are in Japan or South Korea, but a dramatic plant and at this time of year the bugs love it.

| | | Re: Which plant in your garden attracted the most bees today? Fatsia Japonica, more butterflies than I have seen all year, Bees, Hovers, Wasps (small ones) Flies, even Beetles and Moths in the evening.
This now huge plant is in a north facing aspect and it did suffer from the bad winter but bounced back.
