Top of the morning to ye' ;) Debra, sure do enjoy your pics.. I tend to shy away from plants with stickers.. but I have owned a couple bougies before. Not sure about your ID plant, but I'd guess hydrangea... I've seen those leaves before.... FAYE! So happy to see your post up there... I've fought spider mites all winter.. I alternate "remedies" on them, but the best thing is getting them back outside so the lady bugs and other flyers can feast.. but I use the peroxide/dishsoap with water and alternate with alcohol/dishsoap and water. I also think the 3 and 1 rose "food" helps with the mites.. I also use Neem oil for them..... I've learned to expect them. Don't like them, but they don't freak me out so much anymore. 6 more weeks and they'll be outside. I'm so glad you're all having good luck with the seed I sent out. You're all more successful than me.. I have one little Antique Lace X Versi from ones I tried. But I do have more I'm waiting on. I did try crossing A.L. with Maya, but I don't think it took. (Debra, your Maya is looking G-O-O-D! Pretty!) Busy, busy weekend, all the kids were home and I met my new grandpuppy... (beagle/pug) Meet Oates... he's a very good little guy and it was so cute watching my daughter "mother" him. And all the little grammy gifts I got him were perfect.
