This group was taken during the heat of the summer one day. My mom, who is an incredible gardener and one of the coolest floral arrangers I know, planted, cared for, and grew all the irises, echinaceas, lavender, roses, and everything else you'll see here. The bees are always out en masse, too, and Giganto-bee makes a glorious return in all his gigantic bee-ness!

A closeup of the strange pattern on the back of Giganto-bee. It looks like a silhouette of a woman, with the bee's antennae base being her eyes, and the little black dot below them her mouth. Anyone else see it?
