Blooming Friday~ Upside Down


Bees find drinking nectar and gathering pollen just as easy upside down as right side up.


The picture below looks like it was turned upside down, but it wasn't. lol


The flowers of the Hybrid Musk 'Felicia' are just as lovely nodding as they would be facing upwards..



Happy Friday, and join Katerina at roses and stuff for more Blooming Fridays!

    My perhaps last bud on my 'Janet' rose is upside down like those you shared. Beautiful photos of the bee.

    Those nodding blooms are the clever ones, protecting their precious pollen and inside parts from rain!

    So is upside down the right way up? Lovely photos especially the close-up of the rose.

    lovely photos, Sweetbay, and photo #3 is especially compelling. It always amazes us that even during this time of the year, we still have a few roses here and there that are in bloom.

    As always your photos are a true delight. I love Felicia, had her at one time and she was a favorite, then I lost her. It's always awful to lose plants. Thank you for sharing from your wonderful gardens.

    It was so wonderful to see your beautiful blooms in the posting this morning. I feel color deprived already. LOL!
    It is fun to flip those pictures to see what they look like.
    Have a wonderful weekend.

    I can't believe you still have flowers blooming! I have a pink rose that has put out buds but is too wise to to open them. The flowers would surely freeze! Give Roguchi a try. It's really easy to grow. Clematis like good drainage and moist soil. Native Clematis crispa at Brushwood Nursery (online) would do well for you, too. I grow that one, also and it's also really easy.

    As I look out my window today, I see nothing but a gray mist; even though it's unseasonably warm today, I know it's not going to last. Thanks for the sweet return to summer, Sweetbay!
