Huh ok it makes sense really. Since it’s been blooming the flowers seem fine when they come out. I suppose if there were thrips present there would be damage to them? I guess I just panicked a little seeing the bug. I’m struggling to find anything else that could be causing the damage on the flowers.

A good dose in the media is helpful as well. You will probably need to repeat the treatment 3 or 4 times, a week apart, for total (hopefully!) control.
Good luck!

That’s good to know. Bug clear ultra is still very much available over here
. It’s still quite cold where I am and don’t really have any sheltered space outside.
Hopefully it will warm up soon so I can give it a few just in case doses!
Thank you both for your advice
