susieq,

I think I caught this before the ants found it - the weather here is cool enough that I've had to keep it indoors except on the warmer afternoons. The branch was covered in sticky ooze - to the point of dripping on the table - so our house must be pretty much ant-free. But thanks for the warning. I'm sure I haven't seen the last of these aphids.

I do seem to have one small millipede living in the roots that I haven't been able to kill, but so far I can't see he's doing any harm (maybe even good?).
