Does look like aphids

I find simple soapy water can be very effective on aphids. Wash the whole plant, flowers and all and come back and do it again over several days.

I ended up througing it out, the others I only found 5-20 on each, but that one I could get them of, there was just so many! Creepiest thing I've ever seen!

A quick squirt of any innocuous household plant insecticide spray usually kills most aphids. Or even a spray with some dish soap. Go get it out of the dumpster.

I don't think those are aphids, I think they are white fly. Very hard to get rid of! Jean
