this one is loaded with buds, even though it is losing all the leaves
Even with bugs
And as you can see this one is losing leaves and Buds.
At least you got to see some blooms, Doris.
Ahhh too bad. I think whitefly is killed by Bayer Tree and Shrub systemic, Doris. I love that stuff because you do not spray it, just put it in 2 gallons of water and pour on trunk line. It is expensive, but what I did in the plots, was use it just on a few plants that were attracting the cucumber beetles the most. My hope was the cucumber beetles would take a poison bite of the most attractive brugs and then die. It seems to work in that I have few cucumber beetles bothering me there. I wonder if whiteflies flit from brug to brug.
The stuff lasts up to a year from just one application.
Your brugs are so pretty, Doris!!
I looked it up for you. Yes it gets whitefly.

Thanks kell I will look into it
Kell - what's happening here is that more and more nursuries are using Imidocloprid (the Bayer stuff) and the Spider Mite population is growing and growing... must be some predator of the mite being zapped by the Bayer....
Oh PooP!
Why can't these critters just leave us alone!!
I'm gonna go chase em in the morning!
Now the bad bug killer is killing the good bugs!
My lizards better tighten up!
This is a working yard!
