i have small white things (maybe larvae or eggs) mostly on my hibiscus buds (little on leafs), which is preventing them to bloom.... i also see ants in these buds (maybe they are eating the white things?) what do i do about this problem?? i do see some flies (greeninsh body with transparent wings ..very small maybe 1/4 inch long..not like regular house flies)..i have several hibiscus planted in containers and about half of them have this and the other do not....i live in NY and purchased from home depot and costco... they are outside during the spring and summer months ...i buy new every year as i do not want to bring them in for winter....thanks...carol
