Yep, aphids. They will adversely affect the growth including deforming blossoms if not checked by something. A few aphids are okay, but they are getting out of control. If you want to be green, spray the undersides of the affected plants with hot pepper or garlic in solution with a little dish soap and lots of water. I'd cook up old cayenne, or hot sauce, or garlic with water and strain, then put in a pump sprayer.

Pretty gerbera and gaillardia, btw. I'm not sure what the lavender flowers are.

Put a couple of Ladybugs on the plant and watch them dine on the aphids. Real killers, they are.

Those are gorgeous jinx. I'll have to get some shots of the wildflowers around here once they get more in bloom.

Absolutely beautiful guys and gals. Love them.
I was thinking of posting a couple here, but you guys are WAY too good. Mine are nowhere near as sharp nor the colors as bright. Whaaaaaaahhhh! |

So many gorgeous flowers in this thread, and more importantly gorgeous photos.
I can't single them out at this remove, without going back to posters not longer here. So I'll just say - wow. I don't pretend any skill, but these have been family favourites as screensavers. We have our icons on the left hand side of the screen, so I tend to take that into consideration, in case you wonder why they're off centre. |
