Ingrid, thanks for the comment. I had 2 Forsythia and the one I planted at the neighbors looks like that and mine is leaveless at this time which I know to be normal. I am eager to see how theirs looks this spring. Since all my infected plants are in my garage and my sprays and washes haven't worked super yet... Is there some sort of fumigation that I can do to kill these bugs? It would be awesome to have some sort of once and done type of treatment. Anyone know if Palms are susceptable to aphids? If so then I would rather chance the elements and put my Palms outside(I have lots of Trachycarpus Fortunei which are pretty cold hardy). Thanks for the id on the bugs Pearlgirl. Do you have problems with them where you live in VA? I reside in central VA in Fredericksburg. Here are a few pics to add for the heck of it :+) Here is a Crowm of Thorns that is blooming - for Lucy - It seems all my Yellows are blooming now - This is Euphorbia milli longifolia - My other yellows that are in bloom are E.M.Sakarahaensis x Cremersii and E.M.Moratii F2 Here is Hoya Bilobata in bloom - AKA DS-70 - It smells like Butterscotch in my computer room every night. I love Hoyas... They smell purdy :) This one is not pretty but is my most recent online purchase. This is Alluaudia Montagnacii. It looks very dangerous to touch. Here is E.Viguieri Capuroniana who also looks menacing. It reminds me of some sort of medieval weapon - spiked club :) My non fur babies. My TX Red Yucca probably one of my favs in any of my gardens. Very cold hardy so if you live North you should try this since it is kinda rare up here and very reliable. Here is my Toad Lily garden. I have a Raspberry and Blueberry. My Fur baby in my Banana Tree pot trying to be cute right before I sent her outside to cleanup. I figured I would post these for ids here and the id board. THe first 2 picks are the same plant and the third is another which is supposedly rare and when in bloom looks like a Yellow lady and man dancing. And I know you all love flowers so here is a closing shot. This is some sort of Gazania. Not hardy here in VA as I am finding out in my tests(I kinda suspected). I am pretty way off topic by now but we all love plants so I figured that I would share. Hope everybodies year has started off great. -David

Laurie, I love that rose! I'm putting 'Scentsational' on my list as a definite "must have". DH liked it, too. We don't have any roses yet. I just want a couple, maybe 3 and I love the "swirl" effect on that one. I, also, am a sucker for stripes and varigations in flowers. All of you are totally convincing me that I have to plant some other lilies. I love my orientals but they don't seem to have as many to choose from as some of the other species. I planted 'Casablanca' and 'Stargazer' this spring and the tops froze. However, I accidently dug a bulb up the other day and it was very healthy with a great set of roots. Maybe there is hope for them for next year. Lots of mulch this winter. Gillian, your photos are terrific. Did you notice the pollen that is showing, with great clarity, on the gazania? Now that's MACRO! Shauna

Ron, what a fantastic photo of your dog! The best part is that he's not looking exactly at the camera; it looks like his eyes are focused on something just over your shoulder. Is he a very wise dog? He looks like he knows a LOT of stuff that he's not going to tell you about. Love it!

Pam, I have to ask...How does your little friend get up there? I have an abundance of chippy's, and a dozen or so feeders, on but I have never seen them on any of those feeders, even the ones hanging in trees. My pic for today...Busy Bees on sedum

Oh I LOVE gazanias! Every year I find a few more places to put them. Their flowers are so symmetrical and so many different colours. Too bad they don't spread into a bit bigger plant though...

That's a great pic jetred, I think you see their symmetry the same as me.

It works now and looks great! I LOVE the colour. I had some of that kind last year and they seemed to almost glow in the sunshine just like in your photo.

Ohhhh I love gazania too. Nice shot jetred! I have been planting them from seed for several years now. Mine haven't started to bloom yet.....but soon.

savona which series of seed did you buy? I have never seen the ones with the white brush strokes before. They are very pretty!

Very nice jetred & savona!

I've been growing Gazanias for a few years now, I love them because they are so great for those hot-dry loving areas in the garden... mine haven't bloomed yet this year because we haven't had that much sun! This year I am trying Gazania splendens 'Kiss Mahogany' hopefully they will bloom soon.

But, here's a shot from last year...

I have a question about these loverlies.................also a comment................when the dry fuzzies appeared after each bloom was finished, I spread them around and I have hundreds of new baby plants. I was considering two things: gently removing the babies, transplanting them and finish growing them indoors OR: why not just dig up the whole ones plantedand bring them indoors for the winter cheer?
Guess I could experiment; maybe ya'll have ideas or even done it already without starting from seeds in Feb/Mar. I may just have to save more fuzzies!!!!

For sure you can overwinter them indoors, after all they are perennials from South Africa. Store them in a cool room and let them go dormant by holding back the water.

Yet more gazanias! 'Daybreak' this time... We always plant a few gazanias - they have a lovely xeric look in a clay planter!
