Color in the Garden

"When selecting plants for your garden, you may want to consider what colors pollinators prefer. Bees---yellow, blue, purple, utraviolet; butterflies---red, orange, yellow, pink;....hummingbirds---red, orange, purple-red."
Angela Overy, Sex in Your Garden.

                     Roses, campanula and columbine in the front garden.


Pink valerian and bright yellow Dendromecon rigida (tree poppy) blooms......and butterflies are everywhere in the California natives section of my garden.  Anna Hummingbirds are particularly attracted to the creamy-white and pale purple salvia waverily blossoms.
