Excellent colors. The bee looks slightly out of focus to me. I'd have liked to seen him bigger in the frame.

Nice capture...great contrasting colors and pattern with the clustered stamens (?). Thanks.

I guess he can't find a lady friend, so he has to take it out on the flower. hehe.. Interesting flower. The pink & yellow is very nice. Cute shot =)

Sorry but the joining of the pink tips to 1/3 right side is taking away for the bee.
Great macro shot of the bulb.

I like the color of this shot, and the detail of the flower. I think it would have been better without the bee, and you could have titled it bloom. 7

This has great colours in the shot, I think I would have prefered the over all picture if you had waited for the bee to be out of the picture.

Super composition! Lovely color!

It's a beautiful flower, really nice colors. The short focal range pretty good since the most important elements seem very sharp. Don't mean to blow your title, but I'm 99% certain that's a wasp, not exactly a bee. Still, it's a pretty shot. 8 Rob the Swash

The flower is simply stunning! The bee adds great interest. Great photo. If I could vote, you'd get a 10!

I hope that's a typo in the title a really interesting flower but the bug is bland and the picture could be a bit sharper
