Butterflies and bees

There was a peacock butterfly in my garden yesterday, the first I have had in my garden for years. Generally, however, less butterflies than usual. Today there was a cabbage white and a large brownish butterfly and a small brownish butterfly. Even though the small one flew past my face only six inches away from my nose, I still couldn't see what it was! Worried about all the bees that were feasting on my foxfloves, bell flower and love in the mist. There's not much for them in my garden now. I do have a bronze fennel is full of flowers for hooverflies and I saw some bees on that today which pleased me. I got a "Herbaceos Coreopsis" from Homebase today. Good for butterflies and bees - and drought tolerant. Does need full sun and I don't get much of that. Have put the pot in a sunny place, but would like to get it into the ground as it should keep going for several years.
