Hi again: The Friends of the Gardens group at the University of Western
Ontario is in the midst of preparing for a May Plant Sale. Along with
starting things from seed, we have some asclepiadaceae - Asclepias
curassavica and Tweedia caerulea - held over from last summer. They all are
infested with this yukky orange aphid - and it's only the ascleps that have
it - nothing else, thank the Lord! We've tried pinching them and scalding
them but they come back - there is a little wasp they tell me which makes
short work of them. But I wonder if anyone on this list has any idea of how
they get there and how we can make them disappear?? Thanks so much. Fran
