This is my Rose Campion


It looked fine when I first put it in, then started to go to hell. At first I thought it was rot from too much rain, but then one day I pet it (its leaves are really soft) and a cloud of little white flies came out of it. Blech. So I did some research.


Turns out those little white flies are called... white flies. One site said that if you put tin foil all around the base, you'll drive them away because they like it better when it's dark down there. So I tried it and it worked like a charm- no more clouds of flies when I shake it. It might be too late to save it though.

This is what they were supposed to have looked like.
