I do not know what this garden plant is called I have a number of large clumps around the garden, this is one of the small specimens. I originally bought a potted plant while on holiday in Norfolk from someone selling plants from the side of the road. It likes to be damp and by mid-summer, the leaves get brown and will start to look tatty but the red flowers are a magnet for bees and insects. the flowers last right into early autumn.
I made the decision not to weed our small backyard garden this year my lockdown plan to see what grew and what would be attracted to the garden. A big clear up will be due at the end of the season!
Bee’s flies & spiders more views of the garden visitors this morning working on recording these garden visitors and residents.
Continued Reflections from my world. 
Nice post. Looks like you have a lot of potted plants and a lot of visiting insects.

Most of our planting is in pots which will need a good sort out at the end of the summer.

You have created a little paradise by making the garden during the initial pandemic and lockdown. The flower is beautiful with its bright-pink blooms. I wonder what it is – I don’t know either. Great bee and fly pics Andy – that one bee picture the bee appears to have no wings and looks very large.

The Bumble Bee’s move their wings so fast when it flight the camera rarely captures them. Yes, I have been pleased with what I was able to see in the garden when we were not allowed to go out.

That was an amazing picture … I have some pictures of bees, but mostly as they burrow down into the flowers, and not as close-up as yours. It was a good decision to make the garden during the beginning of the pandemic.

I sat in a deck chair and waited for the Bees to arrive – trying to get in-flight pictures – loads of blank shots- loads of out of focus- loads of 1/2 bee shots!!!!! Just glad we have digital photography today as you could never do it with the cost of film.
