A Bumble bee paying a visit to the New York Asters
I certainly enjoy my New York Asters when they bloom each Fall, but it looks like the Bumble Bees do as well! I often see them traveling to the flowers and then going off somewhere with their back legs covered in pollen. Such interesting creatures.
I’m actually extremely allergic to bees, but I don’t have a problem with the bumble bees in my garden. We coexist peacefully and as I said I enjoy watching them collecting pollen from my large variety of flowers within my garden.

The bees are certainly around lately! I have shots I am saving for tomorrow! Today I posted one of my cats! I love asters. Never had much luck growing them but really enjoy great shots. Your eye is really good!

We’ve got the teeny-tiny New England asters instead, nice to have when the weather turns cold.

I like asters.
Can’t beat the splash of colours they can give.
I like them and anemone for their colour too.
