Field Notes

Description:

The passion flowers have a unique structure, which in most cases requires a large bee to effectively pollinate. In the American tropics, wooden beams are mounted very near passionfruit plantings to encourage carpenter bees to nest.

Habitat:

Suburban house flower garden, Sebastopol, CA
