Mosquitoes don't pollinate. They just suck blood! :-)

Well, the females anyhow

There have been, you know, other insects out and about. They're out there... pollinators and non pollinators alike.. I just meant I was dismayed to see mosquitoes in particular over a month ago already. Nothing slows them down, apparently!

And as long as you're enjoying the flowers I don't think your plants are wasting their energy.

Ya I don't have anything against blooms. My indoor plants bloom year round with no bugs at all LOL.
