I love your third shot of the Lily of the Valley GoatDriver, it gives the impression of being suspended in the darkness. It's amazing how such a simple shot can create such a lasting impression, I keep going back to take another look! :)

Beautiful flowers. That bee on the flower shows that there must be a bee hive somewhere :)

Thank you to all for the kind words:)

Thanks grouie! Although I do have honey bee hives in my yard..........The "bee" is actually not a bee at all, it is a Hoverfly or Syrphid fly, they are a beneficial garden insect...When hover fly larvae populations are high, they may control 70 to 100% of an aphid population. ;)

Learn more about them here---- http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/galveston/beneficials/beneficial-28_hover_or_syrphid_flies.htm

Stunning photos! Thank you for the photo tour of your garden. I bet there are more flowers (hint, hint):)!

Around my front porch, an assortment of plants..notice the big yellow flowers (out of focus) of the Brugmansia in bloom in the background...I lost it last year to the cold.:(

A mystery flower...Can you guess what this bloom is?
It's a fairly common garden flower. It is a heat tolerant plant....
