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! :)

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

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