Little Bees and Big Flowers: This Week in My Maryland Garden

Happy floral Friday! This week in my Maryland garden features six flower photos and three have little bees in them. The big echinacea above is the same one featured last week, but with its petals wide open. What a difference a week makes!

This is my very first yellow primrose bloom, courtesy of my friend Mary (thank you, Mary!). Can you see the little bee on it's petal?

I love raindrops on roses. The glistening petals seem to beg for a photograph.

My red coreopsis started blooming this week and the bees have already found it.

The bees also love our pink spirea, which also started blooming this week.

And our Shasta daisies also started blooming this week. It's definitely a great week for first blooms of 2014. Thank you for this mini tour of my Maryland garden! May the God who created all the beautiful flowers bless and keep you!
