Thank you very much!

Wonderful colours and lighting, well captured image.

Thank you!

Beautiful capture! great colors and LOve the bees!! I have these in my yard.. we call them Red Hot Pokers :)

Thank you! I haven't heard them called that yet, but I also have never met someone who was familiar with the flower, since it is not native to Iowa and typically does not survive the cold temperatures!

Amended to reply that I looked up the name and you are completely correct - I was misinformed on the name of the plant. That's what you get for listening to your parents! :P

Very nice !

Thank you very much :)

Nice image, very colorful and a great BG.
The wasp (not a bee) has good details, well done :)

Whoops - I didn't even think about that. I knew it was a wasp but someone, on another picture, mentioned that it reminded them of the song and I thought it was a great title for this picture. In an attempt to be funny, I momentarily forgot what type of insect it was! :P
