Foxglove

Garden-variety foxglove (Digitalis purpurea).  Caught a bee bumbling out of the upper tube

According to Wikipedia, "the plant is frequented by bees, which climb right inside the flower tube to gain the nectar within." You don't say?


This was shot with the on-camera flash.  I'm waiting on parts to repair my ring flash.  My camera fell a few feet onto a carpeted floor and the hot-shoe mount to the flash unit cracked into a bunch of pieces.  Luckily, replacement parts are available on eBay.
