I enjoy the challenge of photographing these delicate white flowers. They grow on long, thin stems and the blooms are just three or four petals. They are always swaying in the breeze making them hard to get a clear shot. The plant is called White Gaura Belleza and sometimes referred to as Bee Blossom. I took this photo just last weekend when I was at the garden.
As you can see from this shot from last year, it does attract the bees.
I recognized it immediately! We have gauras here too, though I'm not sure it's exactly this kind. (We had a couple in our garden for a while, but I think they perished.)
ReplyDeleteGlad to see that the Bee Blossoms are keeping the bees busy.

ReplyDeleteWow, incredible captures of the bees.
ReplyDeleteAlways good to encourage the bees in the garden, I'm hoping my plants keep going for them through Winter.
ReplyDeleteThe combination of flowers and their pollinators is an occasion to be celebrated.
