Possibly a sand wasp (Bembix) also know as a digging bee just for confusion
They do take nectar from flowers

Has anyone had any success setting up a pond?
We’ve been trying, but the poor quality of the tap water eventually kills plants and fish. Is it possible to buy an additive here to neutralise the water?

We recently had a new generation of Monarchs emerging from chrysalises.
Within a day, they were mating and laying eggs. One of them mistook a green moth for a leaf, and laid an egg on one of the moth’s wings!

Congratulations Tardis! So late in the season too.
Great pics as always. Thanks.

I have a pond which came with the house when bought, so I had no hand in setting it up. I have guppies in it and reeds and have no issues with it. It gets topped up with regular water and eight years on it is thriving. Every so often when the reeds die off, I just cut them back and within a week or two lots of fresh green shoots appear. It is also in full sun for most of the day.

the shrubby poinsettia in my garden 12th November.
and 18 days later. Meanwhile my new milkweed has a different colour flower, plain orange rather than red and yellow. no sign of any butterfly eggs but I think it's probably a bit late in the season.

The desert rose seed I planted nearly a year ago are growing, one far more so than the other!

Walking around my garden this afternoon I realised just how much is in bloom. Made me feel much better on a breezy, cold, showery day.
