Re: HYB Pollen transfer


>In my own experience and from local advice our T.B.'s can be pollenated 
even by those tiny little gladioli thrip. In our drier conditions the 
gladioli thrip can arrive out of nowhere. Big rose grower David Ruston 
of Renmark can predict the exact conditions when these little blighters 
are likely to blow in from the paddocks.

Hi Dianne,
Yes I remember thrip plagues in Melb. as a child. We had to beat the 
washing before taking it in.
We don't seem to get them here. Perhaps because we're surrounded by bush 
rather than paddocks? We only get a few occasionally.
Thanks, 
Jan Clark
