Bee Enjoying Our Garden Manuka Plant
The Tregothnan Estate in Cornwall has been breeding the rare Manuka plant (a native plant from New Zealand) since the 1880’s. Usually only in flower through June, the rare bushes are seemingly confused by the year's fluctuations in climate and are, in a bizarre twist, flowering now during our winter solstice, which ties in perfectly to the normal summer soltice flowering time over in New Zealand. Country File Magazine.
We were amazed to see the first flowers appear the Manuka plant in our South Wales garden at the end of January!
Now the bees are enjoying it through May and June.
Have a lovely Sunday everyone
