I wonder why rosemary, monarda and marigolds didn't make the chart? Good reminder--thanks!

In San Diego, the native bee population is thriving and not in any kind of jeopardy.

I've seen 2 bees in my neighborhood. Found one drowning in the bucket under the downspout and rescued him. This winter I've finally seen birds and butterflies. There are no flowers here but I do have squirrels, lizards and tree frogs.

Here Australian bottlebrush, Mimosa stridalosa, and turks cap hibiscus are excellent choices.

I had some onions that went to seed this last year and the bees were all over the seed head.

Several years back I got some mason bees and nesting materials for them. I am getting quite a population and have had to add more nesting sites to my yard.
