An interesting warning John, I recently decided to cut down to the ground the two large Oleanders in my small town garden that were heavily infested by scale insects last summer. Had they been in my country garden I would have burnt them but being in town they were carted away to the local "green" tip. I do wonder what will happen to them there though?

Olive picking, Cyprus style!
Arrived back from the MGS AGM in Italy late last night, was up the tree early this morning.

That looks like Thea to me!

It most certainly is, Fleur, I was still trying to recover from getting up at 6 in the morning the previous day to get the taxi from Velletri to Fiumicino, the flights Rome - Athens, Athens - Larnaca and the drive home from there after picking up the car, arriving some time in the middle of the night!
