    Wow! Just splendid! I don't know if I've ever seen St.Johns Wort, I for sure wouldn't recognize it like this bee did. Maybe now I will remember what it looks like.

      Saw this pretty patch of wildflowers on the side of the road when we were on holiday. The bee, truth be told, was a surprise when I cropped my photo and had it up on my laptop screen :)))

      Thanks EC, bees move pretty fast don't they. You line a shot up and before you know it they are off onto the next flower :)

    Took me a while to find it - there was so much beauty to look at first.

    I wonder if the bee gets benefit of the healing properties of the flower as well as a tasty snack. :)

      Hi Sallie, thank you and that is interesting. I don’t really know much about its medicinal properties.
