Last night I watched a bumble bee feeding on the heuchera. The heuchera has tiny flowers borne on long, slender stems. You would imagine that the weight of the bee would pull the stem down - but no. When the bee landed the individual flower bent over so that the bee was hanging upside down as it fed. Then when the bee flew off the flower sprang back.
I guess big things needn't disturb us either if we learn to give a bit and as I write I am reminded of a line in the Tao Te Ching 'The flexible are preserved unbroken'.
