What is interesting to me is that the Cosmos flower has no bug bites on it--no chewed holes or the appearance of any damage other than the wilting petal edges. If other flowers in this area look damaged then it's probably a plant eating bug but if there isn't any signs of damage it's probably a variant of the ladybug. <br /><br />To answer your question about the purple plant, I think it's Euphorbia x martinii 'Red Martin' but it and similar ones tend to reseed so it could be one of those seedlings. 'Red Martin' does look similar to this... you think I would keep better track....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-5780859699950221522009-10-31T00:17:45.310+00:002009-10-31T00:17:45.310+00:00Love the cornus - I've always had a fascinatio...Love the cornus - I've always had a fascination for them, they are so amazing. There are quite a few different cornus at Thorp Perrow Arboretum, especially along the White Walk, and I used to linger for ages gazing at them.Phoenix C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13852678924557075302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-83951817930093765062009-10-30T23:35:40.724+00:002009-10-30T23:35:40.724+00:00Should have visited the links before commenting. ...Should have visited the links before commenting. This is not the same insect that ate our dahlias. But might be the asian ladybug that invaded the US in 1988. I remember it well, they were coming in the heat and air vents by the thousands. And they bite. We vacumned them up from inside the house, truly scary, they flew around at night, sort of buzzing humming, and landing on us and biting. Yikes!

The harlequin bugs we had were more yellow and black, and much larger. Very bad buggers, they ate many of our plants this summer, if it is the same thing as a harlequin ladybird beetle.<br /><br />Frances<br /><br />Do you carve turnips for Hallowe'en? :-0<br /><br />FAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-82210490230599681612009-10-30T21:11:04.042+00:002009-10-30T21:11:04.042+00:00Next time I see a Ladybird I'm going to get a ...Next time I see a Ladybird I'm going to get a ruler and measure it!

Their markings are so variable, but harlequins are much bigger. Have you sent off your photo for identification?<br /><br />I've no idea re the daylily as they're not really my cup of tea. I think your tree's Cornus kousa though - the fruit's edible apparently! We were admiring them at Westonbirt a couple of weeks ago.<br /><br />Have a great weekend :)VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.com
