My eye is always caught in the garden by things that are different, and a dusting of white material on a leaf made me look a little closer recently. I was surprised to realize it was stem shavings and that a small bee had at least attempted to make a solitary nest in a cut off stem on American beautyberry (Callicarpa americana). I hope she was successful but it might have been too short for her.
I am thrilled to discover insect/plant interactions, each one a very special #momentinnature.
