Porn for D.Y.

This collection of porn is for D.Y. and has taken a few months to round up.  For those of you who need a refresher as to why this is appealing to him (), read about his obsession here.  There are more references to his fascination scattered liberally when bee pictures were uploaded on some of my other blogs, too. 

Porn, pollinating, the birds and the bees....whatever you want to call it, I tried to get a representation of the common pollinators in my area.  The only thing I couldn't get were the bats but I think the ones here are mostly carnivorous preferring, thankfully, those *@# mosquitos and other such flying vermin. 

So, without further delay, enjoy the peep show!       

Fuzzy bee pollinating a fuzzy Lambs Ear (perennial).

Lamb's Ear has really pretty light lavender flowers.  Most people cut the stalks off because they just want these plants for their grayish-green foliage, but I want to give bees food so I let 'em bloom!

Oh, my most prized picture!  BEE BUTT!!!! 

Bee in a rhododendron flower.

Different kind of bee (longer, skinnier body) in rosa rugosa.

There are actually two bees in this picture gathering nectar from a flowering bamboo that hangs over my fence from the neighbor's yard.

Just a couple of weeks ago, my favorite flower, the aster, started blooming.  It attracts butterflies like crazy!!!  We have tons of these cute little orange butterflies.  If I get my camera too close to them, they land on my fingers!  Thilly butterflies!!! 

This is a off-white butterfly.  They're a little bit bigger than the orange ones.

Oooo....I don't know if this qualifies for a menage a trois or not, but there's a butterfly, a bee and asters. 

A hummingbird!  My daughter took this one and the next two pictures. 

Uh, oh!    This male hummingbird is getting upset over the arrival of....

...the queen hummingbird!  She rules the roost with an iron beak!  haha! 

"Get off of my branch!!!"  she twitters.  Ah...love's many complex displays and moods....

And there you have it...the birds and the bees....and the butterflies!    Now, go take a cold shower for cryin' out loud!!!
