The photo is from my paradise before a few harsh winters wiped out the landscape. My beloved sago palm is at the bottom left of the photo. It was killed by an infestation that hit Florida hard. Love sago palms!

Natural Ways to Combat Aphids
Finding an infestation of aphids on one of your favorite plants is not something you want to see in the garden.
One of the tricks I learned to combat aphids is to keep the leaves clean, even if it is just a routine spray of water. Once you experience aphids, you don't want to go there again.
Frugal Family Home has an excellent post on aphids that is very informative on all aspects of these pests. Click here to go to the article.

Blue Plumbago: How to grow
Before an unusually brutal winter wiped out most of my paradise, my blue plumbago stood out like a shining gem. It was started from a cutting from my mother-in-law's garden, like most of my other plants. The cutting grew into a beautiful bush that always had butterflies hovering around it.
When we get our paradise beautiful and thriving again, the blue plumbago for sure will be prominent in the garden again.
I highly recommend this beautiful bush for your landscape.
