I purchased my yard and it has a massive mixture of this beautiful purple clover and regular grass. I honestly want the clover to take over but not sure im ready to take on the whole project yet.
Anyhow, caught these beauties this morning doing their thing 🙂

Those are some chonky bees
Worry not, that “clover” is Glechoma hederacea, and it will take over your yard and smell nice doing it. It’s considered an invasive species in much of the US, if that’s relevant.
This is ground ivy, also known as creeping Charlie. It’s a member of the mint family and is highly invasive in the US. It has very little benefit to pollinators. Removing it and replacing it with native-to-your-ecoregion grasses and flowers will bring you far more friends!
