I hope so! Between the eggplants and the cukes, they've got lots of flowers to visit.

It was pretty good! The eggplant was fresh from the garden. There are a few more just about ready to be picked.

I find that many veggie plants do produce some interesting blossoms. The color of these really caught my eye.
