RE: Yipes! Help.....

Donna,  they look like whiteflies.  If you shake the plant do they fly up in
a cloud?  If so, the yellow sticky bar traps work well.  What is the plant
name?  The foliage looks like oriental poppy, but the buds do not.  They
look healthy and familiar, but I can't name it.

I was out at the greenhouse today, and need help controlling bugs. I
know many of you have greenhouses and wondering how do you get rid of
your bugs on those small tender plants? What works without hurting the
plants.

Due to my schedule, I have not been there for a few weeks, others have,
but no one mentioned we had a problem.... :(  For those wondering, this
is a non-profit gardening group's joint effort to grow some plants for a
sale to support our speakers and activities for the year. We also donate
many to local restoration efforts.

Anyways, here is what I found... never claimed to know what I was doing
with a camera, so sorry, pics are not the greatest...

small... but here is one that is not going to wait...

different kindsa plants... but there are thousands of other plants that
will be effected....soon I would imagine.
