Thanks, Chris. Bees are still scarce here, also.

On an overcast morning, I checked out the Rose of Sharon (Althea)
bushes. After capturing a nice white blossom with red center, I spotted
a rare double blossom in the original lavender color. Then, for the
first time in several years, I found a Bumble Bee on one of the
blossoms. In recent years, all I have found were Carpenter Bees. So, I
decided that my Friday flower should consist of all of these.

All nice photos. I still see hardly any bees here when my shrubs are
blooming. Used to be that you could count more than a couple dozen species
when the rain sages bloomed in the summer.
