This afternoon I went outside to take out the garbage and visit my plants. I saw a huge bee, a species I have never seen before, and a butterfly doing their thing with my beautiful plants.

Wikipedia - Pollination

Pollination is the transfer of pollen from a male part of a plant to a female part of a plant, later enabling fertilization and the production of seeds, most often by an animal or by wind. Pollinating agents are animals such as insects, birds, and bats; water; wind; and even plants themselves, when self-pollination occurs within a closed flower. Pollination often occurs within a species. When pollination occurs between species it can produce hybrid offspring in nature and in plant breeding work.
