Can’t keep track. Can’t care. Love every one of them.
Bee 077 – Triduxing on a Gailardia (or is that quadduxing – nonduxing??)
Tag: Gaillardia Mesa™ Peach
Bee 059 – Bombus Huntii on a Gailardia
Should mention that these are also called a “blanket flower”. So if you’re looking in a nursery, that might be what you need to ask for. Get some. Your bees will be grateful.
Bee 038 – Leaving the Gailardia
Really like the detail in this one. From tongue to toes.
Bee 032 – The Gailardia Returns
Don’t know what kind of bee this is – but it’s got a great face.
Bee 021 – The First of Many on a Gailardia
This one is Mesa Peach. And it’s a magnet for pollinators. I bought two more Gailardias this spring and I think several more are on order. Hope they’re as attractive to the bees as this one is.
Bumble on a Gaillardia – (Blanket Flower)
Like going to the well. So many great pictures last summer of this particular bloomer. With hopefully more varieties this summer.
Been very cold and windy these last couple of days. So the camera has stayed in the house. Should warm up by the weekend. Which will be a relief from the high 20s/40s of the last little bit. I really like posting stuff day-of. Think it adds good value to the enterprise.
Honeybee on a Gaillardia
Great beeface on a Gaillardia Mesa™ Peach. Beautiful girl. Note the miniscule spider, too. For more on the Gaillardia as an wonderful flower for pollinators, see the February 11th post.
