Pumpkin leaves and blossom
June 23, 2008
The first of the pumpkin blossoms are opening; they open early in the morning and close fairly quickly. This morning a bee was struggling inside a flower that had collapsed before it finished gathering pollen. When the flower wilts, the sticky soft petals bond together, and the bee would never have escaped had I not investigated where the frantic-sounding buzzing was coming from. I didn’t think a tender flower could be so strong!

As a person who is at the end of her ’18 month Nikki Coulumbe heart shaped calendar’, I’m happy to hear you’re out there creating more heart shapes! I’ve really enjoyed the 18 months of photos!
