Buzz I was in my garden, and something white caught my eye.  The closer I looked, the bumble bee was covered in pollen.  I was so covered, he was buzzing, more like humming and slow flying.   Bee,Bumblebee,Hibiscus syriacus,Rose of Sharon,buzz,covered,pollen,rose of sharon Click/tap to enlarge

"Hibiscus syriacus" is a species of flowering plant in the mallow family Malvaceae, native to India and much of Asia. It was given the epithet "syriacus" because it had been collected from gardens in Syria. Common names include rose of Sharon, Syrian ketmia or rose mallow, St Joseph's rod and Rosa de Sharon.
