This is the flower from some kind of wild leek which is common in the fields of Crete. What is not common and i saw it for first time is the bee I found feasting on it. It was scary and long around 2 inches.
On one flower I counted five of the species. Can anyone please help identify it?
Αυτό είναι το λουλούδι από ένα είδος αγριόπρασου που βγαίνει στα χωράφια στην Κρήτη. Αυτό που είδα πρώτη φορά είναι αυτός ο μπούμπουρας. Δεν τον έχω ξαναδεί. Είναι μεγάλος. Σχεδόν πέντε πόντους. Τον αναγνωρίζει κανείς..?

C'est génial j'adore cette boule rose et tes bestioles.Quel bonheur encore devenir te voir. Cette plante c'est une tête d'ail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow! that's a neat bee! sorry, can't help with the i.d.
Anthidium species has a large family, we have 14 varieties here in the states.A unique family to read more on.
We have a purple flower growing outside that looks a lot like this one, Costas, but I can't imagine it's the same one. I'll try to dig up my picture of ours.
Also... I sent the link to your blog to a close friend of mine who loves cats! She was as pleased as your pictures as I was!

Wouldn't you agree it looks something like that flower?
That's a lot of bees!! And they are huge! Terrific capture and what beautiful flowers! Love the purple color! Hope your day is going well, Costas! Thanks for the beauty as always!

Nice photos, and the Bee looks pretty formidable to me. He's huge!
Oh my what a big bee. Maybe it's a hornet?

WOW! What a cat banner shot. LOVE kitties!
I have no idea as to what kind of bee that is, but two inches sounds big! Fun to see your photos.
What amazing bees. They are even more beautiful when I enlarged the photos - on my monitor they are about 2 inches, which is about full size by your description. Wow - I've never seen bees that big! I'm not good with ID's, and I hope you get the information you seek!
