the cool thing about having perennials in your garden is being surprised when they come back even prettier than they were the year before. these two bees were actually so tiny I barely noticed them at first. the macro makes them appear so much bigger in this close up. does anyone know what the purpley blue flower is? I've only had them a couple of years and the name escapes me!

Great detail and depth of field.

Lovely flowers Lily, I do know the first one but can't quite remember it's name.
Penstemon?
A kind of salvia perhaps? We had them in California. The light on the flowers is very nice.
lovely shots :)
Quite lovely!! I can't wait until our flowers grow! It would be nice to see some leaves on the trees, too! ~karen
I think they are Statis .. nope, I Googled Statis and they arent them. Salvia ... Google that and look at the pix, I believe thats what they are .. and an excellent macro, love the DOF
How gorgeous! That first one is magical.
I think it's a penstemon. Gorgeous blue.
My perennials worked twelve hour shifts, so I hardly ever saw them. It makes me appreciate your photos all the more.
I think that the Latin name for the purpley blue flower is Petalmus Purpulimus Blooimus. I hope that’s helpful.
Have a nice day, Boonie
I love your photos. The yellow bike is cool, too. The flowers are pleasing!!!
Lovely photos, the flowers are beautiful. Great macro shots.
