Yesterday, we attended a bonsai show and sale at the South Coast Botanic Garden. Naturally, after viewing the exhibits at the show, we took our usual stroll through the gardens. We always enjoy the cactus and succulent garden, but it is especially nice this time of year when many varieties are in bloom.
I paused at this South African Euphorbia ledienii to photograph the tiny yellow flowers covering the crown. Just as I did so, a honey bee decided to sample some of the succulent nectar from the tiny yellow buds. Click on the image to enlarge.
Excellent photo of flower and the Bee. I got my first 35mm many years ago and with high speed film and a fast setting took many stop action photos some of the “White Head Bumble Bee”. Don’t know if you have them in your areas , but here in southwest Mississippi they abound. They hover like a hummingbird and getting a photo is not difficult. Haven’t thought about those photos in years, thanks for bring back those memories.
Thank You Ron! Glad you liked the picture.
