Nice shot!

This Datura plant, we have them in arid terrains, zones of sand, etc... We not let them to spread... Is a big plant. That grass thread of mine was very little...

lucky flower, lucky me and lucky bees :)
i guess bees help us all, there is a problem world wide with bees communities are vanished. if bees disappear, no more love for flowers :(
this called "Colony Collapse Disorder" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colony_Collapse_Disorder
i add to the article some photographs of the datura ( very poison fruits / seeds he has ).
it grows all along the river sides, the flowers are so tempting.
i was sure that the grass tread was photo outside in wild :)
