Wasps, wasps, wasp!
Comments (41)in my family, we always used "black salve" and that seems to work really quickly. I disagree. You may get results because it burns the area you put it on but can leave a scar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_salve Please be nice to honeybees! You don't need to run from them or squash them they are your friends. These bees are the big fat ones. If one lands on you, shoo it away sideways don't try to squish it. If you try to squish it, it will sting you in defense and lose its stinger and dies later. They only get one sting. Wasps on the other hand are carnivores and will bite and sting you for their own pleasure. Avoid them, and squashing them is totally OK! I prefer to play tennis with them with the fly swatter then step on them. If they land on you you will most likely get stung. You know that term Bee-line yea they gave it that name as you guys have mentioned they dive bomb you in a straight line sometimes. If you want to really not sleep at night, you can worry about the Asian Giant Hornet. Pray that it never ends up gaining a foothold here and stays over in Asia. These things are a menace and kill 30-40 people a year over there....See MoreWhich leaf hopper species

Comments (3)westes, You have a million questions. Go visit a local nursery in your area and try to get some answers. Or look online. The species you want is Sasanqun camellia. It won't damage your wall, they grow slowly, you will have less work if you don't want it so tight as you say. They also take more sun than the Japanica, I have both. Research and visit a private nursery, not a big box store for answers....See MoreRumex but which species?
Comments (6)It doesn't match any of the Florida species imo. It appears to have a stalk from which leaves are growing. Rumex species throw up a stem when they are going to flower. Your plant has no sign of an inflorescence. Nor do I see any basal foliage. I still doubt it is a Rumex but of course I didn't see it in person. Top down pictures are really difficult for identification purposes. Although you can't get more pix of this one that's something to bear in mind for the future. And I'm not convinced people don't read a post if they seen answer. I certainly do. Anyone interested in identification will look to see if they agree with the response or, if they don't know the id, they'll look in order to learn something new. Double posting leads to people answering in two places and information getting spread out....See MoreThe Logician LLC
