Beautiful, vibrantly colored shot

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@bill_fe Thank you Bill! Not only do I enjoy discovering these things to photograph, I actually like looking up the names. I should have been a researcher. I just love finding things out!

[Lisa Poland]

Nice! Very unusual colors for the flower and the bee. Fabulous find!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@homeschoolmom Thanks Lisa! They may seem unusual but I've seen a lot of these flowers in gardens around here. In fact, these seeds were transplanted from my friend's garden. She gives me things that will keep growing after the first plant because she knows what a lazy gardener I am! haha

[Lisa Poland]

@olivetreeann At least you have things growing. I kill everything! I'm lucky to keep weeds growing!

[Anita Russell]

Great close up, love the vibrant tones

[Vicki Dixon]
