A bee feasting on the nectar of Pineapple Sage ((Salvia Elegans). Each time I walk down my path past this plant I grab a leaf and crush it to release the pineapple scent. The leaves are edible - can be used to make a tea or in salads, salsas etc. I have been told the flowers are also edible but have not sampled one. The nectar rich flowers attract the bees and butterflies and small birds.

Nice capture with a good bokeh and presentation.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
What really grabs my attention here is your wonderful top notch presentation. I don't think I have ever heard of this plant.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
A flower that smells like pineapple... wow. From the color I would never have made that connection. You must have one heckuva garden, Lyn, but if you harvest parts of this plant for a salad, beware the crunchy parts... it might be a bug or a bird in there with the greens and carrots! It took a bit of study to determine just how this contortionist bee fit itself into the flower but the whole is certainly is a pleasing combination.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
Like the presentation Lyn - would love to smell this.

Nice to see you using the frames like you did years ago LE. That, along with vignetting makes this a beauty. I remember learning how to do frames from you. Thanks.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
You always provide a touch of class to our site, Lyn. Beautiful post.
