Blue is the colour if you want your plants to pull in the bees, says Val.

Rhapsody In Blue

WORKING at home has its advantages, and one of them is escaping to the garden when the weather’s clement. I watch the bees at work while I have a cuppa, and I learn a lot about which flowers they visit and when they do it. There’s no doubt that bees like blues, and some blues, such as borage (Borago officinalis), are hardly ever without a bee.

Flowers appear colourful to us because they contain light-absorbing pigments and these reflect light. Some are also iridescent, and iridescence is produced when light is reflected from structures or surfaces.
