Aphids and soapy spray

I remember informally seeing mention of "lupin aphids" and you certainly tend to see them on most lupin plants sooner or later and they are distinctive through sheer size but here is the lowdown as found by google: http://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile...upin_aphid.asp Interesting link, thanks Des. I notice they mention a list of chemical insecticides but surprisingly don't mention the substantially cheaper and less toxic method I used. I would have thought the RHS would be more supportive of such approaches. It's time to go and give the aphids their second shower in two days now :-) -- David in Normandy.
