Clearwing humming bird in Lawrence gardens

Here i am again with another edition of macro monday. Because of my coverage with annual spring flower show (see below post) i could not take much macros but still those i got were worth posting.

This one was shot at lawrence garden lahore. I am not sure what it is but it seems to be a hummingbird moth. Though we do not have hummingbirds here but sunbirds. Lovely sight though.
update: This is some species of clearwing hummingbird moth.

 Stock is the most fragrant annual of spring. And bees love them too. This one shot at my terrace.

This bee seems to be too involved in california poppy. Again captured on my terrace.

Cineraria,crocus,dimorphotheca in my garden

I know i am late for this macro monday but never too late.

Crocus is not adaptable to lahore hot climate. I tried 3 bulbs this year but only one managed to bloom partially.

Dimorphotheca also comes in purple color but this one is just too good. They open their petals only with strong sunshine.

Calendulas come in very wide range. Very pretty blooms.

 

Cinararia or florist's cinararia are my favorites. They bloom in partial shade as well and come in so many colors it is just enchanting watching them bloom for a long long period. They surely need an exclusive post on them.
