I was shocked when I saw this one!!  Not even close to what it usually is.  This will be a tough one...

This is one way that spider mites negatively affect a plant.  Zap it of it's robustness.

Good Luck!

OK, the winner which is no surprise is........Chris!!

Great job, what tipped it off for you?

Unfortunately while on vacation it got spider mites from the Tahitians next to it and when I got back had lost over half it's leaves.  The above bloom is saying help me out!!!  I must say that this CV is really strong and it is totally leafing all over so quickly it will be fine in a month or two.  Still has lots of buds on it so that is good.

Without spider mites


With spider mites


I hope you enjoyed this one....

Sweet, so what is my prize Darren? Smiley   What gave it away for me was the bloom shape and position next to your porch.  I remembered that white railing behind Summer fun, in previous photos.  AG always has a dark eye so it couldnt be that, and the pattern is all wrong for the path, so alas it had to be summer fun Smiley
