New Zealand tree fuchsia adds an exotic touch to the scene, boasting blue pollen and yellow-tipped stigma that beckon pollinators from afar. Trailing fuschsia thrives in an alpine house in Surrey, England, showcasing its beauty even in unexpected settings. A brown banded carder bee busily flits from one Rosebay Willowherb to another, diligently carrying out nature's vital task of pollination. Rivolis hummingbird joins the symphony of life as it delicately sips nectar from a Fuchsia flower. Not far behind is the European honey bee on its mission to feed on the abundant nectar provided by Rosebay willowherb. Together they create a harmonious dance between plant and insect. Venturing beyond these familiar blooms lies Fireweed or Rosebay willowherb - Chamerion angustifolium - enchanting visitors at Klein Schietveld in Brasschaat with its striking presence against lush greenery. A male Common Redpoll perches atop a snow-covered dead stem of Evening primrose during winter's embrace – proof that life finds ways to endure even amidst adversity.
