Not only have the leek flowers turned out to be spectacular after all but the bees love them. When I sit in the garden I see masses of honey bees all over the leek flowers. There is a constant busyness and some flower heads have six bees on at a time.
It is difficult to catch the bees in larger numbers as they are coming and going constantly but I tried to get a photo with a few at a time.
There are four bees on this leek flower head if you look carefully

My husband suggested we should grow some leeks, in groups, in the flower beds next year as they have been amazing and so long lasting.

They are really great.
Quite impressive aren’t they!
