My pal Angel sent me this photo today of something that is ruining her flower garden. She said these white things appear and then the leaves shrivel up & die. What is it and how to get rid of it?

We were given two hands to hold, two eyes to see, two ears to listen & two legs to walk. But why were we given only one heart?
The other heart was given to another for us to find.

Has she checked the undersides of the foliage for insects?
Is this happening to all plants in the garden or just the one kind?

looks like whitefly to me. see the tiny white specks on the upper leaves? the bottom leaves look like the juices have been sucked out of them.

She said it is on many of the plants in her garden but it just shows up better on this one for the picture. She also said she'd check for insects this weekend but I haven't heard back yet.

Joclyn, I thought of whitefly also as I saw them once in a very large conservatory but I'm unfamiliar with how (or if) they can be present in outdoor gardens?
