Yep... aphids! insecticidal soap as a first try and a second and a third try.. then I go to ladybugs. I can pick up at a greenhouse locally 1500 at a time. If you have to order them it is still worth the time it takes to get them. they aren't expensive and do a much better job than pesticides. I went to get some last Wed. I forgot to put them out after church and waited until thurday evening. By tuesday of this week they aphids were all gone and sadly enough most of the ladybugs have left too. I keep finding one here and there and when I do I scout other plants that I know are aphid magnets and drop them there... like calibrochia..
