This photo is taken at The Secret Garden of 1-Utama. My grateful thanks to consultant botanist, Dr. Francis Ng for allowing me to photograph them.

Don't you love how the wasp is color coordinated with the yellow rod ;-) Very pretty picture.

Rosey Pollen said...

That is really such a vibrant yellow and I almost did not see the wasp, it blended in so nicely.
Great photo for WW.

The wasp is different that what I've seen here...but of course, being in different countries, that's not surprising, is it?!?! Yellow on yellow...very camouflaging!! Wonder if it would turn pink if it landed on a pink bloom?! I know, now I'm being silly...

Wendy said...

goldenrod is so pretty. I've never seen that kind of wasp before!

A picture is worth a thousand words....Thank you for sharing

The wasp look pretty scary - hope it doesn't attack anyone.

Jessica said...

Goldenrod is such a beautiful wildflower and unfortunately gets such a bad reputation as an allergen. Very pretty photos.

Stephanie said...

Wow these pictures are so wonderful! The wasp looks like one big pretty ant. I like these yellow flowers too :-) Have a cheerful Wednesday!

Autumn Belle said...

My dear friends, thank you for the nice comments. The scientific of this plant is solidago sp. I need your expert opinion on the wasp. I think it is the cerceris fumipennis. Please correct me if I got the wasp’s name wrong.

That's one pretty picture! Beautiful yellow. I've seen that wasp here but didn't know what it was called. Glad to see the name you mentioned.

Enjoy your day.

Goldenrod is a prolific native plant in my garden and I love it. It survives well because the deer wont eat it. I will look at it differently now that I know it is also growing in your garden in Malaysia. Love your blog ..beautiful photographs. Pam

I love florist solidago but these wild ones are such culprits to my allergies! I do let the wild ones bloom in my garden since they are so pretty! Nice photos, Autumn Belle :)

I think this goldenrod is native plant of Canada and widely grown in US too. If this wasp is the cerceris, then I have just found from the internet that it has shown promising potential in biosurveilance.
