Have ID'd a couple thrips. The books seem to call for an insecticidal soap, but which one? I searched the "pests and diseases forum" already.
Speaking of bugs- two books and a 40" Phal "Wedding Procession" followed me home in the last couple days.
The Phal. has seven blooms (!) and a few more coming... the books are "Four Seasons of Orchids" by Allikas/Nash and "Understanding Orchids" by Cullina.
