The Callistemons are now flowering and attracting the bees.

The bee was a bonus. :-) The Lilly Pilly is a small tree, native to coastal south-eastern Australia, and a member of the Myrtaceae family. They now are popular garden plants. Posted at 22.22-02-02-2022 (local time here). :-)

From the archives. I was playing around looking at macro images and found this, which I've never previously done anything with. I hope the Easter bunnies brought you all lots of chocolate. Stay safe, everyone.

Our Lilly Pilly shrubs (Acmena smithii) are flowering and attracting honey bees and native bees (see note). These bushes are an Australian native, originally from east coast rainforests but now very popular in gardens.

Nasturtium flowers in full bloom would seem to confirm it.

Our Lilly-pilly trees are in full flower and the bees are loving it. Best viewed large. Like the bee, I'll be buzzing off for the coming week after tonight, so best wishes to everyone until then. Explored - and home again.

The Australian native Wonga Wonga Vine Pandorea pandorana is currently in full flower and the bees are making the most of it. Of course, bees have been known to sting and that prompts this musical link which I relate to the Australian news in the background as I write this.

This bush in our neighbour's garden had attracted a great many bees. Best on black. Explored.

Bee on a callistemon (bottlebrush) flower. Taken on a quite windy day, hence the high shutter speed.

Taken with Pentax SMC M macro 100mm f4.0 on K10D camera - and with an obliging bee. :)
