Is it just me, or did ANYONE notice that his Ivan's paddle is covered in pests?

All those white flecks are pests. You should use neem or pyrethrins. I often get that type when I grow my sundews too crowded.

I did! I ended up using Schultz's GardenSafe on them.

Very good.

It's just that these things keep coming back. I've used at least half a dozen rounds of neem-py on my neps and thrips, mealies, aphids and scale always seem to find them again. Lost so many highlanders to these pests.
 
I used to think that drowning aphids was a 100% thing for awhile, but after a few separate incidents they;ve become more tenacious. So now I am using the chemicals and pursued non-chemical approaches, like dry ice and CO2 kits. I haven't used them yet because I don't seem to have any aphids... for now. All I see nowadays are the occasional worm and snail. How they get in my pots I don't know.

You noticed that, too?
 
I went back and put the correct plants in there again. Photobucket gets them mixed up. I think it's because when I get an updated picture I delete them from the album and the numbers that they assign to them are off. So a sundew I deleted becomes a different plant in the album. That's my theory.
 
Which color flower... pink or white? I'm looking for thr pink variety. I also realize that this is probably 6-9 months away.

Don't know yet. I got the 2 small scorps last fall, no flowers. I'll keep you in mind when they flower. If pink I'll hook you up with gemmae.
 
Ya know... I struggle with D. scorpioides, getting them through the summer. They wanna hunker down and go into a funk for several months.
