Macro Monday ~ Bees on my terrace

I finally saw the bees visiting my terrace as well. They are pretty late this year. I have a lot of flowers on the terrace so they have enough food and can work well. They prefer lingering on portulac flowers. The genus Portulaca comprises more than 100 species that grow in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The velvety portulac or colander hails from Brazil and Argentina. It is a slow-growing flower with characteristic fleshy-thick and succulent light green leaves. During the summer, single or stuffed flowers of pink, red, yellow, orange or white develop.

  1. I’ve never seen that flower before. It’s strange that different areas of the world have different types of flowers even though bees pollinate flowers all over the earth.
