A beetle crowded in on my photo of the American Basketflower (Centaurea americana).
Yellow Puff (Neptunia lutea).
Greeneyes (Berlandiera betonicifolia).
Mexican Hat (Ratibida columnifera).
Dang the Greenhead or the Horse Fly tried to ruin my shot. LOL Actually I have been wanting to get this guy for several days. Lucky me it stopped just long enough. It is in the genus Esenbeckia. There are only four species of Esenbeckia in the US and only males visit the flowers for nectar. Females feed on blood.
Final shot, Brown-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta var pulcherrima) and a tiny bee.
The Clear Lake Chapter Native Plant Society of Texas recently had a presentation (June 12th) on “The Fibonacci Sequence in Nature and Native Plants”. I bet they will be posting it soon to their YouTube channel.
OMG – I’m going to see spirals everywhere now – what a great article!
I was surprised that 90% of plants have the spirals. I too will be looking for them.
Yes spirals are common. Haha headless millipedes. Poor things
I wondered how long it will be before they figure it out.who done it 🙂
The headless millipedes article was fascinating and someone will be really tickled to figure it out sometime. Also WOW on the park money!!
