What an incredible capture of Mr. Bumble Bee. He just might be wondering if he is going to get a poke from one of those buttonbrushes.

Oh the perspective is fantastic. This bush must be luscious to attract the butterflies and be so strongly.

@Mary: It's one of the few flowers I've seen that seems to attract all species... not true of many flowers.
MJ from Delaware, United States

Fabulous flowers. Glad to know what a buttonbush looks like. We intend to plant one this fall or next spring.

@k@: I first started photographing wildflowers... then came the bugs, naturally.
