The bee is stumped and so am I by maggiemae

The bee is stumped and so am I

He's stumped with pollen and can hardly fly! I'm stumped with the name of this yellow flower that is like a day lily and one new one comes out each day. I'm sure its got a rather beautiful name from my vague memory.

I have since ( since I posted this 10 hours ago) found out this lovely flower is called " Evening Primrose"!

Three good things:
1. Grababee when you can but with a camera, not with fingers!
2. Clipped all the lavender bushes and my hands smelt good all day.
3. Gifts from Japan are not easy to translate - I just brushed my teeth with hand cream!
Lovely bee! Lovely lavender, but not so lovely brushing teeth with hand cream!

Hehe, sorry but that's so funny! Handcream toothpaste will obviously not catch on, low,y shot here, Don't know what the flower is but I love the zoom effect you have done with the focus.

Ha ha funny about the hand cream...shouldn't laugh but it tickled me no end!! Bees & flowers & that bee is collecting lots of pollen!

Nice closeup, detail, and colour; never tried it with hand cream :)

Lovely light on your flower.
I put anti inflammatory cream on my toothbrush once....luckily I got a smell before it actually went into my mouth.

Fabulous close up shot, Maggie. That bee does look a bit 'pollen woozy'. Such beautiful color and marvelous zoom focus. Are your teeth feeling silky soft and smooth? :)

Gorgeous bee shot on a beautiful flower!! Shame about the hand cream that must have tasted bad!!
January 4th, 2014  
@peggysirk A bit too smooth and slightly fatty too! Yuk - i had to eat 6 peppermints to get rid of the taste! @pamknowler

Great photo. Your teeth are now well moisturized.

@jenniferruge Thank you Jennifer - I hope they don't fall out after all that moisturising!
January 4th, 2014  
@maggiemae I hope not it would be hard to smile without you teeth. Thanks for making me smile and laugh while waiting for my flight from Chicago to Frankfurt.
January 4th, 2014  
@jenniferruge Oh, is that what you are doing! Safe flying in all that weather!
January 4th, 2014  
@maggiemae thanks, it is cold and snowy with lots of delays and cancelled flights. You have to love winter. Thanks for the entertainment.
January 4th, 2014  
Great shot of this bee, Maggiemae. Love this flower as it is so nice to see in the midst of our strange winter we are having, no rain and in the 60's during the day. No flowers blooming either. Loving that yellow color.
