Thanks all for your comments. Gerry, I have gone out there and all I see is
less leaves! <sigh> Whatever insect it is... its having a field day! Now my
Camellias
are losing leaves quickly... difference is, the bugger is just taking a bite
out of each leaf! GGRRR. I have never used pesticides, but I'm going to have
to break down and
use something. Thanks again.
