When I went out to open up the greenhouse before going to work this morning I was greeted by the first MG if the season. Can anyone id this one?

Xeramtheum - Looks like Mini Bar Rose,but the sepals are too young to start curling outward...better check the sepals for what looks like sap sucking green lumps of aphids visible on the right of the sepals...

Nice to see the flowers blooming so nice and early(!)...

Thanks MGMan & Ron

I just got back from the greenhouse (slogged through the rain) to see if there were indeed aphids on my mg. Thankfully not. What you are seeing is bits of peat that got splashed up onto the leaves when watering a few days ago.

Xeramtheum - Glad that the photo closeup reveals peat and not aphids... 'security' check shows plants pass muster negatory for parasites,healthy and happy...better to be safe than sorry...I know I check my youngins every day for aphids and they are so(!) good at hiding and re-appearing just when you think you must(!) have gotten them all...once I put all the plants outside for good,the ladybugs usually clean up any aphids...

TTY,...

What a nice surprise! I really like the variegation of the leaves too! My Minibar's are still pretty small. - Arlan

I use a product called Pyola in the greenhouse for unwated critters. Because it's a vegetable oil base, it kills eggs as well by smothering them. I also have a platoon of anoles and skinks that live in there as well that also take out unwanted critters.

I like the varigation on the leaves too.
