An ant and a bee in a flower that is only holding a place while we wait for this year’s sweet peas to arrive. The twine in the background is their trellis. Late summer, early fall seems like a time for large flowers, as if we have grown tired of tiny perfection and they wish to grab our attention. It has certainly succeeded with an ant and a bee at the same time. Perhaps there just isn’t enough for them to do this time of year. Fewer and fewer flowers. Less and less to eat and to pollenate. Does Nature never rest?
