A bee gathering pollen from the center of a white wildflower with a dense yellow center with multiple stamens. From wikipedia: The white poppy blooms usually have six crinkly petals, each up to 4 centimeters long, and three sepals. The center of the flower is surrounded by a dense ring of up to 250 small yellow or orange stamens bearing the pollen. The flowers are often compared to sunny-side-up eggs, with the dark pistil in the center as a dot of pepper. A small black native bee clinging to the stamens of a large yellow wildflower. From wikipedia: At the tip of each branch blooms a spectacular yellow flower. The star-shaped flower has five narrow, pointed petals with shiny yellow surfaces, each up to 3 inches long. Between the petals are long, thin yellow sepals. The center of the open-faced flower is filled with a great many whiskery yellow stamens.

Miserable weather but check out this #FallBackFlower from July 15; Iliamna rivularis. This plant is the GOAT of beautiful Latin names, it's straight out of Rivendell. Drop/reskeet a photo of any plant you think has a more beautiful binomial than this, I would love to hear about it. 🌱🌿 #nativeplants

I know this is a domestic hybrid but I just can't help but share this Hoya 'Mathilde' as a #FallBackFlower from July 14th, it was really stunning that day. I think I need to restart this plant because it has been struggling lately. 🌱
