Garden Flowers: Part 2

Paul Iddon

I was looking for some abstract leaves amongst the Lily of the Valley flowers that are just budding in the garden, when I found to my surprise the aphids where there again! Not only have my roses succumbed, but the flowerbed too...

Hi again Paul, I'm not sure what attracts Aphids to certain trees and plants.
I have 4 fruit trees down the back yard, and the aphids hit two of them every year for some reason same two each time.

Both Trees bare fruit, the one that gets hit the worst yeilds the most,
go figure.

I don't spray the trees, never have and they have been in the ground for more than 20 years now.

Your plant doesn't look too badly infested, hopefully they wont do too much damage .... Skippy

Thanks Skippy.

I didn't even realise the aphids were there until I looked at the images on my computer!

And they look like some may even be inside the water droplet too.
