@ZenMan yes there are honey-bees; though perhaps not as plentiful on that part of the garden; while there's lots where I have blue-bedding-salvias flowering. No doubt the bees get around still when I'm not looking
Do you have photos to place here, about the male/female flowers - pollen placing? I did actually take a fine brush out yesterday morning, and again this morning, but can't say I see pollen-laden parts to work with.
