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.
This is my Cornflower, a fancy bloom that comes back strong every year. I've also seen them called Bachelor Buttons. The bumblebees love them, they are gone for the year.
This is a bumblebee on my Pink Sedum. I don't know why it turned on its side.
You can see a lot of great flowers above.
Oh, it could be the sunlight that caused them to turn sideways...they are simply gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice looking back on pretty blooms. Out my window I only see bare trees for the most part or brown leaves now. :)
these are beautiful no flowers left around here.
ReplyDeleteGreat captures Tom.
ReplyDeleteKeep the flowers coming. It will help through the blizzards during the winter.
ReplyDeletewondrous close ups sandy
ReplyDeleteWow, great photos.
ReplyDeleteLove the insects on them Tom. I was taking some shots of bees today and they also seem to roll around in the pollen sometimes.
ReplyDeleteReally great photos! I've never seen a corn flower/bachelor's button before.
ReplyDeleteI have another name for your bachelor buttons (cornflower): mountain bluet. ;-) I'm fond of that perennial!!
ReplyDeleteIt is a treat to ~BEE~ able to see a bee at work seeing that they have all disappeared here in my cold getting colder Novemeber garden.
