Beautiful poppy in splendid colors indeed! The poppy blossoms are very large and they would have very sweet pollen, so they can attract a lot of bees and bumblebees to visit them daily…
Those bees and bumblebees are very amazing. I learned more and more about those insects from you. Really great information that you provided. For me, I especially like the 'buff-tailed bumblebee' which has beautiful bright yellow strips and the white end of their abdomen.
Your close-up photos of the poppy blossoms and the insects are very excellent. I also like the unopened bud of Papaver bracteatum, really magnificent.
While the insects feel like paradise in the poppy blossoms, I myself feel like paradise in your wonderful garden. Thanks so much for sharing. ;)
