Colors really pop on those. Dig the bees. Nice camera work!

I'm always looking for passiflora videos to play on the television in my Café while the customers eat. Ill add this beauty to the playlist.

Great, instructive video whch clearly demonstrates the pollination mechanics of a passionflower and how the bee 'just fits perfectly'.  Now the bee's fuzzy back makes far more sense to me as a pollen collector.  Also the position of the stigmas is important: up when the flower is male and down/horizontal when the stigmas are ready to accept pollen.

Thanx for posting the link, Kevin!
