[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I stopped to take a picture of this river side flower and realised that the bank of flowers was alive with activity. Bees and other insects were busily going from flower to flower.
Introduced to Europe in the 19th century from the Himalyas, this plant has invaded river banks. It has a long fruit capsule that explodes violently when ripe, expelling the seeds some distance from the plant.

Really beautiful closė-up! I love Balsam although it's hard to control in places in Sweden. The little bee is nice and sharp.
TFS, Ulla
