Bee!

[Callalily]

Although I know many of you take far better macros than what I am posting . . .

I'm just happy I saw this bee while I had camera in hand . . .

It's the best bee picture I've taken thus far . . .

4. Those are straw flowers?

Never knew what they were, but there are lots growing in the park across the street.

5. Oh, please don't take

my word for it. My plant identification knowledge is limited to vegetables! ;-)

But, I sent this pic to a friend, and she said "nice straw flower." So that's what I'm going by. ;-)

7. You're like me I guess

if I can eat it, I can identify it, If it's ornamental, I'll enjoy the beauty, but not bother growing it.

9. I think they are all coneflowers

though maybe another nickname is straw flowers? http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&source=imghp&biw=1577&bih=858&q=coneflowers&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=

These are more like the straw flowers I have seen and felt. They do feel like straw and when dried look just the same as beforehand. http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&biw=1577&bih=858&gbv=2&tbs=isch%3A1&sa=1&q=straw+flowers&aq=f&aqi=g1&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=
