Here is an interesting one...
I was busy taking photos of Stapelia glanduliflora, when a bee with an identity crisis decided to come and take a look. After checking out the flower quite thoroughly, the bee flew off again. I managed to capture quite a few shots of the bee on the flower.

I have a few and put them in very different places to see what climate conditions they like best. One of the plants got a bit of rain, and immediately got some black spot fungus. The plant that I photographed gets half sun, and now has 16 buds. The one in my greenhouse is making buds now, and gets harsh full sun all day. So it seems that they like half to full sun, and not too much water.
It is always great to see plants in habitat, as there is no better indication of what conditions they like. We found these plants at the end of the day, and the sun was already starting to set (so the plants are in shade). I photographed these habitat shots close to Clanwilliam Dam in the Western Cape, South Africa. The climate is very warm, dry and harsh.
