Something new to this particular spot - the leaf cutter bee! Ray and
Matthew were out in the nursery earlier this evening and saw a leaf cutter
bee doing its thing on the rose Mde. Isaac Pereire. On closer inspection,
there are several semi-circular bits taken out of this plant, which is
growing over a pergola in the nursery. But interestingly, this is opposite
the area in which other roses are kept for sale. The only rose in pots with
holes out of its leaves is the very same one. All the others have been
ignored.
Does anyone here happen to know what gets the bee to concentrate on one
particular plant?
