dem_photos 0 Posted October 12, 2006 In spite of appearances, this bee is leaving the flower, not arriving (they seem to be easier to catch on their way out). The background is as the camera captured it. My only non-PN sanctioned adjustment to this photo was to reduce the glare a bit on the flower--perhaps it's still a little harsh?

dem_photos 0 Posted October 13, 2006 Ruud: Thanks for visiting and rating. Sondra: Ha! This flower (Lamium or Lamiastrum, I'm not sure which) is in the mint family, a group of plants once named for the mouth-like "lips" of their flowers (they used to be the Labiatae, "labia" being "lips," of course, but someplace along the way the name of the family seems to have changed to Lamiaceae). Even knowing all this plant taxonomy, though, I didn't notice the Little-Shop-of-Horrors attitude on this flower until you pointed it out! Link to comment
