Thought I'd post a few pictures on some of what's around that bees regularly visit when in bloom. I'm adding some links of the California privet (http://www.forestryimages.org/browse/detail.cfm?imgnum=5272062), didn't take any pictures as they aren't in bloom yet. Bee's love em (http://plants.usda.gov/java/nameSearch?keywordquery=California+privet&mode=comname&submit.x=9&submit.y=13) but they are invasive.

Hi wd,
That's great. I have been thinking about doing this more regularly for some time. You have inspired me. I'm in southern Cal. I will post mine.
Cheers,
Patrick

Yes, they are all over the privet out here now. I usually can't wait for it to bloom.

Looking forward to it Patrick!
the cal privet finished blooming in one area 2 maybe 3 weeks ago while it wasn't ready on the other side of the river. didn't get any pictures.
