A bee with taste

They're fascinating plants aren't they Plantboy!
I'm just waiting for my third Toad Lily to open.

I've just the two but I fell in love with them when I went plant hunting in Chiina, Nepal and Tibet. At the moment I'm thrilled because the first seedlings of Iris sibirica hybrids and Lily hybrids are poking through, along with the rare yellow Delphinium zalil from Afghanistan

Wow look forward to seeing pictures of those when they flower Plantboy.

Great photo Plantboy....plump little bee there, the Toad Lilyis a stunning colour too.

Which one is this aswell, Plantboy ?

This is a species, Tricyrtis formosana (syn. stolonifera). No idea what the bee is!

I've spent the last few weeks potting up myriad Fritillarias and Irises so hopefully have a few of the reticulata hybrids and selections to post before too long.

And thanks for your interest. You can always keep up to date with my dabblings at www.theplantboy.blogspot.com, which usually includes a few photos (though not always my own).

But do you know 'which' formosana though, i'd like to look for it.
I have a couple here and i'd love this one too !
I have Tricyrtis formosana 'Dark Beauty' and
T. f. 'Empress'.
