Mmm, mmm good

This is a discussion on Mmm, mmm good within the Macro forums, part of the Showcase category; That's apparently how this honeybee felt about the passionflower nectar it was feeding on. I simply must find a Passiflora ...

Super sharp & great lighting Kenny. My passion flower didn't survive the winter, but last year it really didn't seem to attract many bees, just a lot of yellow jacket wasps.

Thanks fellas, appreciate the comments.

Dan, I have one I got earlier this season and it's growing nicely. Problem is, it's not passiflora incarnata, the species in this set of images. I have no bees on mine either.
