Bugs Getting High On Exotic Flowers

Photo: Diane Edwardson, June 13, 2009. Velvety soft mystery plant near Adelbert got even more interesting this week. (Click on photo to enlarge.) Two bees and an earwig were hanging out on the flowers in a somnambulant state. Usually, bees are busy and hard to snap photos of while they drink nectar from flowers. All three bugs just sat there. I shook the plant gently to see if they were alive.
