Today's Flowers #40

My friend Luiz from Brazil does the Today's Flowers Meme, check it out. Come and join with your flower photos. Sunday at 7 GMT is the post time.

This is a small wild flower on a bush which I saw when I was in the Appalachian Mountain foothills. I'm not sure what it is called. They were about a 1/2" in size.
This wooded valley area was filled with Trillium. The woods were filled with the flower. If you click the photo you will see it better.
These are the flower on my Ohio Buckeye Tree with a Bumble Bee working the flowers.
I do hope you check out some of the other neat flowers which are shown.

    the province in Canada that I reside!
    They are also a protected species.No digging them up..NOT allowed!
    Love the capture of your bumble bee!

    Unknown flowers, but beautiful.

    No bees no flowers.

  8. Nice tom, the first plant is some species of honeysuckle, but I can't tell if it is a native one or not.

  11. That bee is an awesome shot! Brilliant.
    I think the first one is maybe of the honeysuckle family. Lovely flowers.

  12. That bush is honeysuckle! Pull off a flower and suck the nectar out of it :-) They should smell real sweet, too.

  13. I guess Honeysuckle, too. Those Trillium look amazing. I was happy when 2 came up in the garden last year.

  19. Tom, Looks like Honeysuckle.. It has a sweet smell (almost too sweet--if you know what I mean).

    Love the Trillium. The Smokies are coevered with it.

    Hope you have had a great day. It's COLD here today... Darn!!!
