Wow, Ms. M. What colour!
I didn't know hibiscus grew so far north; they certainly won't grow here, except indoors. You are so lucky.
I love the way you've caught the bee. I'm not sure if they're acrobatic or just clumsy.
Thank you, Dive. I love rich reds like this. I didn't know these were hibiscus; I've known them as Rock Rose. So, you've given me new information today. Around here, they start blooming in August, at the hottest point of summer.
The bee is a mystery. I did a little research online about bee flight, but none of the articles addressed flying upside down.
I don't know about beecrobatics, Ms. M, but I'm glad to see a healthy bee. I've been so concerned about the Colony Collapse disorder that I'm doing what I can to attract bees to my yard and I think we all should.
I'm happy to see your "blossom and bee" shot!
I think you're right, Petrea, about attracting bees. We've got flowers / plants in our yard, too, to attract them, including a white Rock Rose -- or hibiscus -- bush, which keeps them very busy. Maybe this bee is just happy.
