What's good in the garden?

It's such a  wonderful time of year, there is so much going on. Here are some highlights. 

The bud of a Cephalaria gigantea, slightly macabre I think, but very beautiful. It turns into this:

 

Osteospermums everywhere. So lovely. 

 

Perennial wallflower which sprawls and will not behave but is forgiven for these flowers.

 

Some of the most lovely flowers. Broad beans. Tiny beans are growing - one of my favourite crops.

 

No words necessary. 

I watched this bee climb up the bench walk all the way along to one end and then back again. It came across these forget -me -nots along the way and stopped for a drink. Then it fell off then end of the bench and I lost it. I have no idea what it was doing.
