Bee on Buddleia
 |
|
| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
This picture was taken at the same time as another similar one which I have posted on TrekLens.
When we moved to this house 4 years ago, we discovered in the front garden a glorious bush which is a Buddleia. Unlike other Buddleia plants which I had seen, with their long tapering bunches of blue or purple flowers ( if that is a satisfactory description), this plant has its tiny bright yellow flowers set in small balls, about 2 cm in diameter.
This is Buddleia globosa and the flowers have the most wonderfully strong scent of pure honey. Not surprisingly, when in flower, this bush attracts bees from far and wide. Surprisingly, unlike other Buddleias, this one is in flower now and flowering will be over all too soon. Our other Buddleia bushes will not flower for some time to come and they seem to have a great attraction for butterflies.
I took lots and lots of pictures to achieve this one. I wound up the ISO to 400 which explains the lot of noise in the background. I hope you like it. |

Muy bonita tanto la flor como el insecto.
Hello John,
Beautiful colours-different kinds of yellow- and great macro composition with an excellent POV of this hard worker.
Thank you!
Take care John!
see U,
Linda
