RE: CULT: nasty little pests

From my distance, they look like aphids, you can wipe them off or spray with a household white mite spray. Shouldn't be a big deal. This happens when I move plants indoors.

Subject: [iris-photos] CULT: nasty little pests

I have some irises joining me indoors this winter for
various assorted and usually odd reasons and I've noticed a
pest that I've never seen before.

I find soft gooey blobs all over the leaves.  I've never
seen them hatch or develop into any other form.  They are
very small, probably the size of the head of a pin.  So far
I've gotten rid of them by washing the fans off with soapy
water, and by exiling a few of the worst back out doors. 
They did attack a pod I had set and eventually caused the
stalk to rot.

I've never seen anything like this is Nebraska before.  Any
ideas on what it might be?

where its warm enough today that those crocus may be fooled
into popping up




It's 2004 - time to gear up for November's Presidential election. Which candidate do you support? http://www.care2.com/go/z/election04
