Well, you really have to click through to the full size original.
It’s a bee on a Hoya carnosa bloom. The one bloom and the bee are both in amazingly clear focus. You do know how small those hoya flowers are, now don’t you? Well, they’re only about 1/2″ across. And apparently, if you look very closely, fuzzy, just like the bee. Plus, if you click through to the original, you can see the pollen on the bee’s knees.

Superb photograph with great details and well composed. Never seen this flower before. Keep the good work going !!
There is Cactus Garden in my city, but cactus is marred by the superstitions and myths in our culture. I wish people could understand that cactus is to be admired for growing and surviving in the most tough conditions, especially without much external support like all other ornamental plants. They smile with flowers, in all kinds of adversities.
I too have two blogs, one about cactus photography http://cactusphotography.wordpress.com/ and the other about snake photography http://snakecell.org/blog/
