Very, very tiny bugs on squash/cuke blooms
Comments (6)Agree that they definitely aren't squash bugs or even squash bug nymphs. Those are easy to rule out from your description/information. But without seeing them it is just one of a hundred or more possibilities. Look up pics of aphids and thrips for example for comparison. As the squash grows, the ones with these bugs in the blooms eventually start turning brown at the tips and then the bloom or growing squash will just fall off. That could be just coincidence due to lack of pollination and age of the bloom but no way to know for sure. Are these male or female blooms the bugs are in or both? Reason I ask is some pests will only go after the pollen in the male blooms. Dave Here is a link that might be useful: Common Squash and Cuke Pests...See MoreA Calamondin or citrus observation...
Comments (1)I read that calamondin starts bearing flowers at 3 years of age. You should next year. I have one grown from seed and it's 2 years old and not one flower either. Your other citrus maybe grafted....See MoreTo bloom or not to bloom
Comments (2)Hi Brighty and welcome. Follow Betsy's advice and make sure that they get 6 hours of sun or more. With enough shade daylilies will have reduced blooms or none at all. Also heavy fertilizing may produce nice foliage but no flowers. Charlie...See MoreGrowing coral honeysuckle on shrubs and trees.
Comments (5)The only distinction between 'Major Wheeler' and any other selection or cultivar of Lonicera sempervirens is its profuse bloom potential. Doesn't get any bigger or is any more denser than any other L. sempervirens and so should not "overcome" any reasonably sized shrub or tree. But it is important to match the right shrub/tree with the vine. I would suggest the lilacs and forsythias first, then the magnolia. Forget the nandina and the boxwood unless the box is already quite large. And growing a more or less evergreen vine on any conifers is not a great idea. You will shade out the foliage or needles under the vine and cause dieback. It can also encourage foliar diseases due to excessive moisture and lack of air circulation. Stick with larger, well-established deciduous trees and shrubs....See Morekelli
