I have used Murphy's oil soap, for white fly's, you just
use more water than the oil soap in a spray bottle, it's also good for aphids, I have tried safer soap, but I still had them, the Murphy's oil soap smother's them
we had a little bit of snow Friday night, then saturday night it was really cold then Sunday morning, it was 22 degrees, oh Congratulations on your Blooms, I'll bet they are Beautiful

OMG that evil 4 letter word! I agree with Elizabeth about using the Murphy's. Some people combine it with other ingredients and spray their plants. It's a couple capfuls of Murphy's, a shot of isopropyl alcohol, a squirt of dish soap and a quart of water. Use a spray bottle and saturate your plant.

Thank you for the other ingredients, I'll try that also,
in the basement, the aphids are awful, I tried the safer soap, but it didn't seem too work, so it's back too Murphy's oil soap for me

The Cherub is about to burst, I wonder what my family room will smell like in a week? I counted 70 buds!

How Beautiful your Brug looks, with all those Buds, would you believe, my Peaches & Creme Bloomed in my basement
outside they go from white too Peach, but in the basement
it Bloomed yellow, it has a scent but now as strong as
outside

Why do they torture us like this, making us wait till the cold weather to perform?

Diane, I hope Cherub opens up its blooms soon for you! That's how I felt about how long it took Infinity to open up and it is outside. I think the plants are going through what we go through with this crazy weather, i.e., it's cold, it's hot, it's raining, it's windy. Won't be long and I hope it feels your home with wonderful fragrance!

Please, please do post pix of cherub once it colors up. Mine grew well from the cutting I got last fall but I had to bring it in before it bloomed and the young buds fell before developing. I'll really be interested to see it.
My Peach Versi didn't bloom either but if its like mine and blooms it may 'almost' run you out of the house...one of my favs for perfume.
Bet your house is gonna smell heavenly,
Will

I'll take some pix tomorrow but had to report: Peach Versi opened its only flower tonight while I was out - that one flower is scenting the entire upstairs. Cherub has opened 4 flowers and they're in varying stages of color. But! Barely any scent! This is so interesting.

So the flowers are opening, and we had a yard visitor you might enjoy:

Last brug photo is the Peach Versicolor. Its scent is so much stronger than Cherub!

Lovely pictures Diane. I guess the visitor wants to get in on the aroma :-)
