Thanks for the details. I love hummingbirds (all birds) and yes, loathe aphids, but you know what? I don't get such a bad infestation on that sempervirens. Who knows why?

I have not used anything for aphids on flowers but I do this for my sugar snap peas.. and other UGLY eating bugs on my veggies.. I take "tin" foil and put on the top of the soil.. when the sun comes out it reflects on the underbody of the plant. Aphids as u know hate heat! Kills em dead! Tin foli is alumimum foil... called it that when I as a kid. Nice website you have!!!!
