Hi Bpgreen & iowa50126! Wow! If thats all it is i will be extremely happy! I was just sitting here wondering about it & thinking what larva it could be if it was that type of thing. I'm going to do a search for mosquito larve and wasp larve and see what they look like. I know mosquitos usually lay in water. My son is allergic to mosquito's and bees/wasp severely, so my mind is going into motherly paranoia. I plan to put down Sevin bug powder, but i believe i have to wait some time period because of seeding. Ya, i love to mow, but it is pricey! I'm in Webster County, we were spared compared to most in Iowa! We've had alot of rain, but nothing compared to others! God Bless Em! I haven't seen alot of worms or birds. I'll search for a pic on the worm poop & see if it looks similar. I have macro on my film camera so i can take a better pic, it'll just take a few days to develope them. I was trying to take the pics with my sons toy camera, just wouldn't cut it close up. Thanks so much! Tonia

How do you all grow yours? I bought one last year at the Antique Rose Emporium because my teenage daughter liked the wild colored flowers :) - no subtle colors for her! - but didn't realize at the time that it is a climber. Mine has been in a pot (repotted it into a large container this year) and it is just a large arching "mess" (but at least it has lots of blooms along the archways! Can't wait for it to bloom). I'm not quite sure what to do with it - maybe pillar it? I don't really have a spot along a fence or anything like that. The tendrils catch my husband every time he walks to the shed and I'm afraid I'm going to just find the whole plant "gone" or cut down to a nub one of these days!

So the side plants are suckers. Convention says to plant me plants closer. They're only 8" apart so I don't know about that.

Try posting the pic again in the comments. tj
