Picture This #486 ~ Plants And Their Gifts

Hello all from sunny and warm Florida. Hope you are all well. I am posting this early as we may be celebrating this evening and I wouldn't want to forget. Wonderful banner shot by Mitch, such an inviting scene.
I was thinking about how plants flourish down here in the warm and humidity, which led me to this week's theme, plants and the gifts they give us. There are flowers, fruits, vegetables, and habitats. Here are a few selections.

Canada beaver pond
The trees and other plants provide a wonderful ecosystem here close to Lake Superior.

Orange Huckleberries
These honeysuckle berries grow in my backyard. The birds eat them and spread the seeds.

Palm fruit
I am not sure what type of fruit this palm tree gives, but the squirrels love them.

Bees on teasel
Bees getting nectar from teasel plants.

  3. Hi Benni !! Many thanks for hosting this week. A great theme!! Would love to go exploring in that area in the first shot. Wonderful light in the second shot, with the berries almost glowing in the sunlight. Cool bunch of 'palm berries'. Super capture of the busy bees.
