This bee was buzzing away inside the bloom like it was trapped, but there was no reason. It buzzed for a few minutes, I even tried helping it out. Nothing. Then it just flew away. Curious.

They are a bit lavender but the picture shows a true color, though a little more vivid. Have you seen bees wiggle around in them like this? It was really bizarre.

Yes Greenthumb, I have seen the bees wiggling around inside the torenias - head right in. They seem to love these flowers.

That alone and I'll grow them for years. :-) I couldn't coax him out of there for anything.

Funny w it's backside in, huh? I got one of these as a freebie a while ago and it bit the dust... :( It was a little dried out when I got it.

Thank you all. :-) Backside in, tracy, that is why I thought he was stuck just beating his wings against the petals in there. But he wouldn't come out. Seemed he wanted to be noisily buzzing in there. :-) Now I know to just let them sit. lol.

Love torenias - got lots of these myself but I've not seen blue ones or is it just looking blue in the photo. Our torenias are usually dark or light purple and pink.
