A Bluebottle full of pollen

I never knew that flies too were attracted to pollen. A friend gave me some cuttings of this very hardy succulent, which is growing like weeds now.

Super color! ...and weird how flies are so much more interesting close up. A shame they're such pests otherwise! ;-)

[Mary Siegle]

Wow - eye-popping color, including the fly.

It looks like a poppy but not with that colour. I haven't heard the word bluebottle for a long while but there is certainly colour here!
