You're welcome to the leaf cutter bee I've had in my greenhouse this week!

Not that time of year again! They seem to like my Tephrocactus, its the big exposed holes in the bottom of the pots I suppose.

Superb plants, Ian. The only time I've had "problems" with leaf cutter bees was with a clay pot of Cylindropuntia tunicata, it loved the drainage hole on the side. I wonder if they have some tendency for opuntioids...

If its the USA form of E. micromeris, you don't need any bees.

I'd say it looks like E. bokei, just needs a very small paint brush...

I've had one digging a hole in a gymnocalycium pot in the past.

Beautifully grown bokei, Ian. Nice shape, clean white colour, and nice flowers. I'll see if I can attract small bees if I can get plants like these.
