Carpenter Bee / Xylocopa mexicanorum on esperanza My apologies, this was a blurry picture I tried to photoshop, it's not too clear.

Carpenter Bee / Xylocopa mexicanorum on esperanza

My apologies, this was a blurry picture I tried to photoshop, it's not too clear. I moved recently and my previous house had several esperanza plants. I miss them and their ability to attract bees.

    1. Yes, I miss them and would like to plant some in my new yard. They are extremely hardy and drought resistent. I will need to find a better picture to post as a species. Posted 5 years ago
