Some good and some bad. I'll get the bad out of the way quickly. This is a good shot of mealy bugs sucking the life out of a jatropha. They looked hot and thirsty so I gave them a Malathion bath. I'll be back tomorrow to check on them.

The baby wrens are here in the bottom left. They have gotten so big so fast!

I heard this morning that the lanai ceiling panels will be in town tomorrow so I am thinking delivery by Friday. If we can get the installers out here next week, perhaps I can start moving orchids by the 23rd. That will clean up the gardens and allow me to care properly for the orchids.

I'll have to douse all of the plants with Bayer 3 in 1 before bringing them inside. I don't want to introduce unwanted critters to the new confines.
