If not for this bee, I would not have discovered how lovely -- heck, flamboyant -- a guava tree flower is. It has multiple filaments that seemed to blur the nearby orchids to non-existence. How's that for metaphorical sex! Too bad I only got one chance to shoot this brief tryst; I fumbled for the manual focus too long (argh! the bane of photographing macros with point-and-shoots) that the bee flew to higher blooms shortly.
