Whitefly,greenfly ,purplefly...

All these try to get on my pellies,and other plants in greenhouse,,ok,maybe not purple ones,,but them first ones..grrrr.
  They love uniques,scented , regals,and zonartics,not so much zonal pelargoniums,,but if nowhere to go they get on them too. Especially when plants are in stress,,to dry,to wet or to much sun and it is to hot.
  Last year i had whitefly invasion in old tunnel,and got some in new too.I tried everything yellow sticky paper,contact pesticides( that stench .brrrr),systemic ones .I bought encarsia wasp eggs,who is natural predator of whitefly,they didn't hatch...So last winter i decided that is all i must find something else,something what is natural,do not stink ,do not do damage to our health,to other insects .I think i found it,,it is neem oil,,you can get it at health stores,cost less them systemic insecticides ,do not do harm to you or other around,,except white fly ,green fly,to all who love to suck sap from plants,,or even eat them.
  I started to spray plants every 7 days,,i do it on Mondays,,on one liter warm water you take 5 mll neem seed oil,,add little kitchen soap,i using Ecover Washing-Up Liquid ,because oil won't dissolve in pure water as you know.And then just go and spray plants and try to wet underside of leaves,where whitefly loves to hide.This liquid you must use in 8 hour time.How do its work,,read here 
 And as i can see it really work,,i have white and green fly still in,but it is not in damaging numbers,,they just come on plants what i forgot to water or over water,,sometimes happen,but my scented and uniques are clean,same as all other.
  Hope this info will help you,if so let me know.
p.s. forgot to tell,best time to spray plants is early morning or afternoon.Sun can damage foliage on your plants.

In greenhouse.Photo reportage.

Sunny days doing  job .Greenhouse is very close to colour explosion .So there is little photo reportage from my greenhouse tonight.

Big thanks Lena!!!

Today i was left speechless for while...
Last week i bought 2 unrooted cuttings of very pretty Marbacka ,,,lady who sold them told me she did put some extra plants in parcel.So,i thought i will get some nice new varieties unrooted cuttings,,ta-da :) How big was my surprise when i opened parcel,,,thank you very much dear Lena,,i really hope that cuttings will root,and i won't kill my new plants with love(as i usually do).
      Lena have very nice little website,,love her photos!!!Thank you again!!!You made my day!!!

New 'sport'???

Last year discovered that one of my new 'Lord Bute' grown from my own cuttings,have different flowers,,so wonder does it already exist as variety,or i have something new .I did check pelargonium register,didn't find anything similar.Look at photos and say what do you think.It just started to open,and if i didn't know from where it come from,i would think i have new variety.

Look at them buds,,colour.

Big thanks....

I get great bunch of pellies today from Sweden. 

   Thanks to Cathrin, who 2 weeks ago,was standing in her local flower shop,looking for present for her self.Because it was her birthday and her little girl gave to her  some money to get nice pelargonium  ,,,somehow and no idea why,she remembered one poor pelliemadgirl in Ireland,who was looking for  particular Swedish variety.Thanks to Facebook,she found one of my posts,and made contact with me.It was so nice of her,i couldn't believe to my eyes ,and i was over moon after our conversation.And i still am :)

  It made me think,you never know when something good can happen with you,,,and that people who love plants are best ones ...Thank you Cathrin,!!!

Instead of one,i end up with 5,,as usual
