Wasp - Polistes apachus

Wasp - Polistes apachus
Cedar Hill, Dallas County, Texas, USA
May 20, 2009
Picture taken a local nursery. I'm thinking some kind of Polistes, but I'm lost after that. It was very busy doing something down under the leaves or in the soil of this little potted plant and never cooperated by showing its face before flying off.
