Trip to the Botanical Gardens

I love the NC Botanical Garden. When I’m traveling too much, going there makes me feel like I’m home and things are normal and I have a routine.

Also, y’know, critters.

That’s Sessile Blazing Star and a bee very very covered in pollen.

American Painted Lady on some kind of swamp sunflower.

Some type of flower longhorn beetle, I think.
