I had to give up growing that Mexican Butterfly Weed because it was a magnet for aphids and spidermites. A shame, as it is a wonderful plant otherwise.
I finally figured it out. I now know why Cheryl has such variety of great flowers. She drives BY the nursery on the way home. Many of us have to drive TO the nursery. And the 'flower magnet' is twice as strong if they put out a sign that says HALF OFF. ;-) Jerry
in our garden, i didnt see any unusual plants or flowers, instead i saw an adorable gray rabbit, it didnt belong to us, my heart just jumped out of my chest of joy it was cute, i wish i can have it
Bliss... you are right about the spidermites. I wasn't going to plant any more because of them, but the spidermites don't seem to bother any of the other plants. So when these started popping up again, I just let them. Jerry.... for years I just ignored that nursery because it was usually closed when I go by, but all it took was for me to catch them open and discover that $1.99 table! Plus now they are staying open later. And you're right.... kinda hard to pass up a ½ off sale. Teacher.... I have rabbits visiting too and if the dog sees them... the chase is on.
