Default Aphids
I'm experiencing a problem with aphids on the blooms of my Milt. regnellii. They seem to be leaving my other plants alone. Any suggestions for getting rid of these pests? The plant is fairly large and I'm hoping I can keep the blooms but going at the aphids by hand isn't keeping them in check. Thanks for the assistance.

Shirley

I spray rubbing alchohol on my hybiscus out here once or twice a week and it kills all the aphids, at least until the ants bring in a new batch!

With the Bayer...
Make certain that it does not have the fertilizer in it as well just the insecticide.
I have read horror stories about hobbiest using the one with the fert and burning all of their plants.
