It is quite easy to miss, the small rounded "cushions" are not particularly attractive unless you are a nerd for plants (like me). They seem to be highly attractive to a variety of hymenopterans, particularly wasps and possibly a lesser extent bees (native and otherwise). They are apparently host plants for at least one species of butterfly, as well. I wrote a brief piece with photos, link is at the top of this message.<br><br>Travis Owen<br>Rogue River, OR<br><br>www.amateuranthecologist.com<br>www.oldsolbees.com<br>www.pacificbulbsociety.org<br><br></div></div></body></html>
