I'm hoping Lu sees and approves of my new head, it is the mosaic of the Queen that she has been after me to do. Not done by me though.

So this is dissecting-room photo of Ex-Beatle. Very professional, yet cold.

They do love the Frits, and my Toad Lilies too!

What don't they like??!! I've only found them on my Lilly plants in mid summer - never found them any where else, and last year I didn't seem to have a problem with them. Do you think that was down to weather conditions or was I just lucky?

Just think of anything from the Lilacaea (Lily) family and you'll know what they like PT!

Yes.They can over winter on anything close by though..as in this case. No more so far, they will be active from now, I am ready for them this time.!
