I was walking along and happened upon a shrub covered in these wonderful orbs that looked like little satellites. Each was made up of hundreds of small flowers to form the balls. I looked it up on-line and the bush is called a Buttonbush. There lots of honey bees buzzing around the bush. It was a wonderful sight.

Wow, that is truly beautiful, RedPat!!! Perfect even! Thank you!
What an unusual bloom. The flowers do look like satellites. I don't think I've seen this plant before.
Wow! That is awesome!
Pretty bloom, it is nice that the bees are happy.
Take care, Happy Friday! Have a great weekend.
It does look otherworldly, doesn't it!
Another one of nature's fabulous varieties.
It is great when people plant bushes that attract bees. We owe bees so much as they produce about one third of all our food. Those are great looking flowers.
I haven't seen a Buttonbush in decades!
