I also found out the hard way that mosquitoes love my pretty fragrant flowers as much as other insects do. They feed on nectar too, after all, and hang out there waiting for a convenient blood meal (me) to come along. Royal Red butterfly bush is a favorite, so were these marigolds and yellow/orange cosmos. |
