My friend Luiz from Brazil does the Today's Flowers Meme, check it out. Come and join with your flower photos. Sunday at 2 GMT is the post time. A Happy Mother's Day to all the Mothers who read my posts.
It is time to show off my Ohio Buckeye Tree in full bloom.
The flowers on the tree are really prolific and very pretty when studied up close.
The bees really love to get the nectar.
Check this one out working really hard.
Check out all the flowers above.

Hi Tom, The Ohio Buckeye is gorgeous. I've never seen one in bloom ---or at least, never 'noticed' it before.
We're home from the beach --and I'll post in the morning. Had a wonderful time --but it's nice to be home.
One of my sons is visiting me on my 'special' day (Mother's Day) today!!!!!
Hope you have a wonderful day.
Hugs,
Betsy
wow Tom, your tree is fabulous but those bees...I'm always afraid of bees! :) They are hugeeeeee!Just kidding, your pictures are wonderful!
Hugs

Great shots, the last one is my favorite :)
Oh, is that what its called? We have a couple where I work and I always pick some of the flowers that fell off to the ground and admire...ahhhh, i love this time of year, flowers are everywhere!
The bloom is amazing.
Interesting tree. Great captures.
Lovely photos, and a very beautiful tree in your garden. Gorgeous!
What an amazing tree! And, that bee is certainly very busy...beautiful. Happy Mother's Day...enjoy the visit with your son!
Great Buckeye. I can never understand why more people don't use it as landscape plant around here.
Love that tree, Tom! These are all great captures but I like the closeup with the bee the most. Have a great weekend!
Your Buckeye tree is huge! Lovely blossoms on it. The last picture of the bee is amazing!
Oh, love when you post your Ohio Buckeye (am I remembering from last year?) These are great shots.
I had never seen the flowers up close.They are really very pretty.Thanks for sharing this.
Blessings,Ruth
That is a wonderful old tree and is so pretty when you see the flowers up close. It is not a tree I have ever seen before, it doesn't grow out here.
Mother's Day was lovely thank you, an hour long chat with my daughter on the phone made my day.
cute with the bee!!!
Your buckeye tree is great and the flowers are lovely. You did a great job shooting the bees too.
awesome shots. the first shot is lovely and the bees are wonderfully captured too.
wow, lovely flowers!
Lovely garden. Flowers are interesting.You even capture the bee in one of the photo. Have a good week. Nancy
Beautiful set of pictures. I love your Ohio Buckeye. My first time to see it. All are great shots. Thank you for sharing.
Have a nice day always.
Sweet flowers from the owner attract the bees to them..
How old is your Ohio Buckeye tree?
Those sure are amazing.To my knowledge, there is nothing like that here. Thanks for this. Beautiful.
I don't know if we have those in Nebraska. It sure is a nice looking tree, and the blooms are pretty. It's great to have all those blossoms for the bees.
I love your umbrella photo!
Closer and closer and closer.. each shot better than the previous one.
Those bees are having a feast!! I wonder who is eating all the honey they are making? :)
loved the one with the bee in it
Similar to our Horse Chestnut tree.
Magnificent

I miss the buckeye trees! We brought one with us when we moved, but it didn't make it :-(
What a pretty flower cluster. I may have to investigate this tree a bit more...
Well deserving of showing it off! Love,love the busy bumble.
Nice closeup on the bee. A coworker of mine wore a bumble bee costume one Halloween. It was the funniest costume ever!
Wonderful photos, love the flowering tree. The closeup flower shot is great.
I especially love the humblebee pic--not sure but I've always thought they were the grandest of the bee/wasp families.
all are great, Tom but i love the last one with the bee!
Oh the tree is just amazing-and you know I like the bees too : )
We had a huge buckeye tree behind the house that I grew up in. It was in a neighbors yard. I had forgotten about the blooms.
They ARE beautiful!
Tom, that last shot of the bumblebee on the blossoms is simply fantastic.
