We try to get out to Butchart Gardens a few times a year. It's always different, and always a delight. It's by no means "natural", but all the flowers and plants and trees are still living things. And you never know what else you might see, like dragonflies and lizards.
Of course, the main attraction is the flowers, and in the fall the Dahlias.
The black backgrounds are a little artificial, but they focus attention on the flower itself rather than the setting.
With flowers, come bees and there were lots, both bumblebees like this Yellow-faced, and honey bees.
And also flies like this Common Drone Fly and Western Pond Fly that are easily mistaken for bees.
The details of some of these flowers blow me away. Amazing what evolution can come up with.
Even an old favorite, a Hibiscus.
