Finally the bees have discovered the flowers on the squash plants. Mark still helps them using the q-tips but they seem okay on their own now. You know what's really cool about these plants? I don't believe I ever realized that these flowers become the actual squash! Did you know that?? After the bloom peaks, it starts shriveling until at a certain point, it becomes a tiny little squash. And then that little squash grows into a big, beautiful, healthy squash that we enjoy for dinner. I think it's fascinating to watch this process.
Meanwhile, we have one more day in SC and then we go home tomorrow evening. I love it here but I'm pretty tired with all the travel. Looking forward to some kind of routine at home for a while.

Isn't God's creation truly amazing? Great picture Thien.
Thanks ladies. Glad to meet you Ms. Hays (checked out your blog...very nice!). Sue, we have many beautiful miracles around us. I am just sad that as a whole, most of us don't take the time to experience the miracles.
I do something like Mark with Q-tips but try to brush one flower against another if I can. We have a shortage of bees here so some things just are not pollinated. I like to see the bees or even flies working on the flowers so I know things will be pollinated.
I like your photograph today and enjoyed your post yesterday.
