Becky, ios the color shown in the ophoto of the mealy bugs accurate?? I have what I believe are aphids each spring. If I were to see the pics above but they were green, then I would [possibly] have mealybugs. I still think they are aphids; and yes I think it'd be fun to attach a pic, even one already shown to our posts~keep the spirit alive through the winter! Has anyone ever tried vinegar? It is very acidic, so would it hurt the plant, or do any good against the critters at all? I use Vinegar for like a million things, cleaning, etc...so maybe a garden use for de-bugging the MGs would be a boon. Misting it with alcohol mix maybe? I attached a pic of something called a crossvine that looks nice when near MGs of a dark color (Rebecca, etc.), but it did not bring as mant Hummers as the fountain I have from created from the run-off of my swampA/C units pump. The flowers last about 2 days and are crimson in the thraot to orange at the outside, a nice trumpet shaped bloom that did really well in the heat this summer and I hope it survive the winter!!!!! I love the way it has spread out since I took this picture, very much like an ivy.
