These are tiny little euphorbia blooms, and I didn’t see the aphids until I was working on the photos, and there they are! Click the photo to see the larger, more aphid-y version.
Euphorbia characias blooms and aphids.
Be assured, those aphids are already gone, long before this photo makes it onto the blog.

Pray tell your method for making them go away…I will be doing battle in another couple of weeks and love hearing new ideas.

Loree-
For most succulents we use neem oil (tho’ not rose defense, which is not safe for succulents.)

For these spurges we used Take Down Garden Spray. It killed the little buggers quickly, and then we actually just shook them off.

Incredible observation. I cannot say that I have seen in in person before…just the signs of them. Matti
