Los antófilos (Anthophila) conocidos comúnmente como abejas, son insectos himenópteros, sin ubicación en categoría taxonómica, dentro de la superfamilia Apoidea. Se trata de un linaje monofilético con más de 20 000 especies conocidas. Las abejas, al igual que las hormigas, evolucionaron a partir de himenópteros aculeados. Los antepasados de las abejas estaban relacionados con la familia Crabronidae y eran depredadores de insectos. Es posible que las primeras abejas se hayan alimentado del polen que cubría a algunas de sus presas y que, gradualmente, hayan empezado a alimentar a sus crías con polen en vez de insectos.
Hay muchas más especies que aún no han sido descritas. Se las encuentra en todos los continentes, excepto en la Antártida. Están en todos los hábitats donde hay plantas con flores (magnoliofitas o angiospermas). Están adaptadas para alimentarse de polen y néctar, usando el primero fundamentalmente como alimento para las larvas y el segundo como material energético. La especie mejor conocida por todos es la abeja doméstica (Apis mellifera), a veces simplemente llamada “abeja”; esta especie es un insecto social que vive en enjambres formados por tres clases de individuos: reina, obreras y zánganos; sin embargo, la mayoría de las especies de abejas son solitarias, es decir, que no forman enjambres. Existe también un número de especies semisociales, con capacidad de formar colonias; por ejemplo, los abejorros. Estas colonias no llegan a ser tan grandes ni duraderas como las de la abeja doméstica.
Muchas gracias a tod@s por vuestros comentarios y favoritos. Saludos

Scientific classification:
Kingdom:Plantae
Clade:Tracheophytes
Clade:Angiosperms
Clade:Eudicots
Clade:Rosids
Order:Myrtales
Family:Myrtaceae
Genus:Melaleuca
Origin: Bottlebrushes are members of the genus Melaleuca and belong to the family Myrtaceae. They are closely related to paperbark melaleucas, which also have 'bottlebrush' shaped flower spikes. Most Bottlebrushes occur in the east and south-east of Australia. Two species occur in the south-west of Western Australia and four species in New Caledonia. Bottlebrushes can be found growing from Australia's tropical north to the temperate south. They often grow in damp or wet conditions such as along creek beds or in areas which are prone to floods.
This species is probably the best known bottlebrush and is widely cultivated. The bright red flower-spikes appear in summer and autumn. Crimson Bottlebrush grows well in wet conditions and usually reaches 4 m. Plants should be lightly pruned and fertilised after flowering. Neglected or mis-shapen plants respond to hard pruning.
Note (2026): Previously identified as Callistemon citrinus. Species designation removed pending review, as the notably longer and narrower linear leaves are inconsistent with the typical foliage of C. citrinus. The plant is tentatively considered to be Callistemon linearis (syn. Melaleuca linearis) or Callistemon viminalis (syn. Melaleuca viminalis), but it may also represent a cultivated hybrid or cultivar. Until additional diagnostic characters are available, it is retained only as Callistemon sp.

Flowering Lantana shrubs are found throughout the Alligator Alley Trail in Circle B Bar Reserve located in Polk County in the City of Lakeland Florida U.S.A.
The most common lantana is a non-native species, Lantana camara. It is easy to find in local nurseries and garden supply stores. That said, choosing the right lantana variety is not always so simple. The UF/IFAS Assessment of Non-Native Plants lists Lantana camara as invasive. This means UF/IFAS does not recommend it for North, Central, or South Florida. It quickly invades disturbed sites and is toxic to livestock. Gardeners should take care when choosing a lantana for the landscape.

It has several ongoing major threats that have drastically reduced the species' population and its habitat. The major threats for the species are fires, agriculture, forestry, grazing and urban sprawl. The species is used as an ornamental in specialized collections, but specimens are not collected from the wild.
Brugmansia arborea is a perennial bush that grows up to 16 feet tall.
The flowers of these, and all Brugmansia plants, hang straight down, differentiating them from members of the Datura genus, in which the flowers mostly grow upwards.
They are known as Angel's Trumpets, sharing that name with the closely related genus Datura.

Water lilies are a well studied clade of plants because their large flowers with multiple unspecialized parts were initially considered to represent the floral pattern of the earliest flowering plants, and later genetic studies confirmed their evolutionary position as basal angiosperms. Analyses of floral morphology and molecular characteristics and comparisons with a sister taxon, the family Cabombaceae, indicate, however, that the flowers of extant water lilies with the most floral parts are more derived than the genera with fewer floral parts. Genera with more floral parts, Nuphar, Nymphaea, Victoria, have a beetle pollination syndrome, while genera with fewer parts are pollinated by flies or bees, or are self- or wind-pollinated Thus, the large number of relatively unspecialized floral organs in the Nymphaeaceae is not an ancestral condition for the clade.

Binomial name
Rosa lucieae
Franch. & Rochebr. ex Crép.
Rosa lucieae (syn. Rosa wichurana), the memorial rose, is a species of rose native to eastern Asia.
Description
It is a woody, semi-evergreen shrub, with long trailing thorny branches of glossy green leaves, and single five-petalled white flowers with prominent yellow stamens in Summer; followed by small dark red hips. It can grow to 6 m (20 ft). It is named after the German botanist Max Ernst Wichura (1817–1866), with the suffix -iana.
Uses
While it is valued as a garden plant in its own right, R. lucieae is also a parent of several rose hybrids, notably 'Dorothy Perkins', 'Albéric Barbier', 'New Dawn' and 'Albertine'. Its vigorous, rambling habit makes it particularly suitable for forming an impenetrable barrier at ground level, or for scrambling up large trees. It has been introduced to the United States.

This shot was taken on the same morning as the previous image, we planned to visit 3 of the nature reserves on the mendips starting with Draycott Sleights, then moving to GB Gruffy and finally over to Ubley Warren to photograph this Bee Orchid.
We had checked all the sites out the day before and located 2 Bee Orchids, but could I find them the next morning! Eventually found this individual orchid with just the single flower on the side of a small mound. The local rabbits had done their usual fine job of keeping the grass cut short making photographing it quite easy.
Best viewed very large.
