The best part about a show (aside from getting to spend a day with all out iris friends) is that if we can put on a very nice show with artisan design arrangements even if unexpected cold weather occur.

Diagnosis of insect injuries to plants can be difficult. Oftentimes, the insects are no longer present when the injury is noted, and many insects (and mites), perhaps present, are too small to see. However, clues that help us identify the culprit might be left behind. This topic will be discussed in two parts, the first involving those insects that feed using chewing mouthparts and the second, the insects and mites that feed on the fluids from plants.
