Hi Gerry, I couldnt find the answer to this in the other sections so I thought I would direct it to you. In my porch I have a Star Jasmine (Trachelospermum Jasminoides) which I planted last year in a pot about 1ft wide and deep. It grew and flowered well. This year trained last years growth onto a small trellis but the growth seems to be only OK. The flowers werent blooming fully and some are withering before flowering and on closer inspection today I discovered that there are tiny dark green / black mites or bugs all over the flowers. None seem to be on the leaves as far as I can see. The porch is west facing and gets very warm with the evening sun. Some of the new leaves look a bit sweaty at times too. Any ideas about what the little invaders could be. Im very disappointed to find them and I hope I don't have to scrap the plant as a result. The scent reminds me of my honeymoon in Thailand! Hope you enjoyed Bloom. Thanks for your help. Ive tried to capture it in a photo but they are so small it's difficult to get a good shot. Ronan Halpenny

Hi Gerry would appreciate any help you could give me or pointers in identifying my cactus. I have added the photos to my garden as there was no facility here. The cactus has 4 colums each 3cm in diameter. It is now 6 ft tall. Thanks Passiflora
