  • Globe thistle looking strange / Sickly

    A few of the globe thistles are looking a bit Strange / Sickly compared to others





    I was hoping they would improve when the weather changed

    Can anyone enlighten me on this please

    Did you use different manures for them?....

    Or, are there tiny aphids on the underside of the leaves?

      Mine are just the same. It's the aphids, little orangey coloured ones on mine, they are too small to be affected by the prickles. I leave them, usually the predators find them eventually and the flowers come through regardless.

            Nice one! Mine are still looking a bit sorry for themselves but I'm sure they'll pick up soon.
