White sticky stuff
Posted: Wed May 28, 2008 12:01 pm
I have several well-established (5 years or so) hydrangeas. They look healthy and I see new blooms coming, but I've also noticed some white sticky, almost cottony-looking stuff inside some of the buds. I don't see any ants, which I've read would indicate aphids. Anyone know what this is and if it's harmful? If so, would a soapy-water solution help?
