Well look what I found. I initially thought I had an M3 here; (mystery plant #3) but upon closer inspection I found a seed casing on one of the leaves. I looked through my recently planted seeds and Viola! It appears my Cosmos have sprouted! (I really need to start labeling shit around here)

| so cute and pretty |
I planted these guys a few weeks ago in my
battle of the aphids. These guys will grow tall and set out some beautiful white flowers. See it's the baby lace wings that are voracious carnivores as adults they are strictly vegetarian. The Adult Green Lace Wings eat nectar from the flowers. Since I have PLENTY of nymph food (aphids) and hopefully I will soon have lots of adult food the plan is that they will then stick around the garden to lay their eggs. These guys are way to small to explain the sudden increase in
beneficials at this time but should they survive the winter I have a jump start on the spring planting and bug control.
