This is a California Lilac. It blooms hundreds of little blue clusters that last for maybe 2 weeks. While it's in bloom it attracts every bumblebee and honeybee in the state. You can hear the buzz half way across the yard.
This was a huge , fat bumblebee that seemed to be comatose. All the other ones had their little butts working 100mph.
Even though it's blurry the little red spec is a baby lady bug. The weather was warm today and the plant was swarming. Lila was very brave and walked right up to it with me. We stood very still and let all the bees fly around us. She could teach her daddy a few things.
