Bessea hybrid with ant

[mkline3]

Here is a pic from the National Botanical Gardens from years ago (, maybe 2005?) It is a nice bessea hybrid (I think), great colors, and if you look closely you can notice an ant stowing away in the pouch! We didn't notice it untill we looked at the pics later!

one thing I love about taking photos is that there is always something you miss in real life

:clap: Lovely photo !! The ant was a nice surprise...better than taking a photo and seeing a mealy bug that you didn't see .

Cool. It's weird but I found a [black carpenter ant type] ant in my plants yesterday. I hope he survived the 20 story flight OK!

They will eat you out of house and home, you know.

Years ago I got a Cattleya that was outside in a friends house in the Catskills. When I brought it in I found out it had an ant infestation, I got rid of them by flushing out, I thought! Now I have to check that plant again.

:clap: :rollhappy: I'm trying to picture that! Was it windy? Are there any trees nearby?

Sure plenty of wind and trees but the thing is.. "It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop at the bottom!!!"
