Just watched a leaf cutter bee take sections of this pelargonium flower petel. Ive never seen then do that before only ever seen them take sections from leafs. Has anyone eles seen this happen?

Its a possibly @anges they do see the uv spectrum so maybe this one doesn't. I do love watching leaf cutter bee's 🐝

@anges now you say it it does. I brought 2 hopefully the other one is purple but I have a feeling i may have picked up another pink one. Ive never had regal pelargoniums before. Normally I have the scented leaf or angel ones.
