This was taken yesterday at the st kilda botanic gardens.

Image is a bee collecting pollen on the yellow pollen bits of a light pink poppy with some poppy buds near it and green foliage.

It really is. I feel like I haven’t seen them in forever. All of a sudden BOOM! They’re everywhere in surrounding garden and trees. Got a real buzz from that.

Does it not mean some things are blooming unseasonably early? (Aside from some wattles)

Maybe? Ecology is all over the shop these days

I haven't seen any too early blooms this year. It has been dry tho.
