Baby lady bug eating aphids on an iochroma leaf. I meant to spray some neem on this plant to kill the aphids. I don't need to now, it's covered with these "little dragons" and they're hungry.

Do you have good luck getting your Iochromas to bloom? Mine don't do much at all. The red one is blooming now but the other two aren't doing anything but getting taller.
Brugie, No blooms at all. Maybe a few earlier. Kell sent me cuttings though and they were loaded with blooms. Don't know what that girl was feeding them, but they were gorgeous.
I think it was Kyle who said they like hot days and cool nights to bloom. Maybe they will start here soon. These will be plants that I'll not keep. Not enough show for me. Has anyone had their Goldfinger plant bloom yet?
did they root Cala???
I was hoping these were not mine.........as I would die if I sent you California aphids!! LOL But mine here are bug and fancy free.

Kell, yours were beautiful!! The blue one is still hanging on. (we aren't going to mention the red and mauve ones)
Actually, this was acnistus australe, from T&M via Peggy and Jody. The blooms that did open were light blue and smaller than the blooms on the ones you sent.
