Okay, so arguably, this is perhaps a better banner for entomology.com than for garden.com... but I'm loving it! Fine pic and wonderful slice, Cal. Really "bien bonito" as the locals would say. I tip my hat to you.

Thank you for all the thumbs, acorns & encouraging comments, my friends. Smiling

Sorry I don't have the original image handy (though should! Rolling my eyes. ),
but here is a slideshow of the little blue dragonfly on a lotus bud.

And here is the yellow hardy lily, Mexicana.

Our pond is a dragonfly (and bee) magnet.

The dragonflies are great subjects.....it's like they are curious
about the big shiney eye (of the camera)....they light on e.g. a
lotus bud for several minutes.....fly away, and come right back.
