Thought this was one of the most beautiful videos on pollination I’ve seen. It starts out beautiful and just keeps getting better. Enjoy. . .
Buzzing Among the Lilacs
Doesn’t this watercolor epitomize Spring, I am so looking forward to the smell of lilacs and watching the bees flit about from one tiny bloom to the next. Below is a portion of a poem, When Lilacs Last in the Door-yard Bloom’d , by Walt Whitman (1819-1892):
In the door-yard fronting an old farm-house, near the white-wash’d palings,
Stands the lilac bush, tall-growing, with heart-shaped leaves of rich green,
With many a pointed blossom, rising, delicate, with the perfume strong I love,
With every leaf a miracle……and from this bush in the door-yard,
With delicate-color’d blossoms, and heart-shaped leaves of rich green,
A sprig, with its flower, I break.
