Let’s have some fun with Terri’s Floral ABC’s theme of flowers featuring STUV. I don’t have a flower that begins with U but here are some flowers that start with S, T, and V. Can you identify any of these flowers? You can check your answers at the end of this post.
Sharing with Terri’s Flower Hour #48
S: Purple Salvia with bee, T: Tithonia (more commonly known as Mexican sunflower), V: Vinca (also known as Periwinkle)

Wow. A stunning gallery, Beth. I almost missed the beautiful bee on the Purple Salvia. The bee’s wings blended picture-perfectly into your excellent background.

Three absolutely lovely macros Beth! But, moment of truth, I failed. I only know one of those, the Vinca, because we have them in our laneway garden. The Tithonia is stunning but my favourite is the Salvia – I’d never seen that before, I love the deep, rich purple tone and – natch – the bumblebee. Great shot! pp

Thanks Pam! Salvia grows well here and comes in other colors, too. The purple is my favorite.

Beautiful images, Beth. I missed the Mexican Sunflower.

Thanks Egidio! The Mexican Sunflower was tricky because Tithonia is the scientific name. They grow well here and the pollinators and hummingbirds love them.

Beautiful captures, especially of that large black bee. I so seldom see black bees.

I knew the salvia and I should have recognised the periwinkle, but the tithonia was new to me.
