LEMON BALM

Lemon balm leaves in the sunshine

My first cup of tea today was while sitting on the front step picking aphids from the pot of lemon balm beside me.

That's where the ladybird a few posts back would have come in handy Lucy, they love aphids 😊 The first cup of tea is the best ✨

Hello Deepak. I wish I were able to include the delicious lemon smell as well as an image of the texture.

Hello Perth Daily Photo. Hopefully a ladybird will find the aphids. They are an interesting kind that I've not seen before - sort of spotty (which I realise is hard to imagine on such a small creature - but they are). Although not visible in the photo they contributed to it. It's their honeydew which gives the leaves their shine.
