2013-07-14 Pony Tail Flower with Honey Bees

When my parents first moved here in 1973 my mother bought a Pony Tail plant in a small container.  It never moved from the container till Christmas Day 1995 when we moved into our present home in Pearl City.  The Pony Tail was moved from the container and planted in the mauka front corner of our yard.  Since then it has steadily grown and this past July finally bloomed.

The blossoms lasted for about 2 weeks during which time they attracted a multitude of honey bees and some carpenter bees and a smattering of wasps.
