Gardeners' world

One of my fuchsias has been heavily infested with greenfly, and hasn't thrived for some while. On Saturday morning I saw a huge hover-fly (I've never seen one like it) depositing its eggs individually around the plant. I had a look after I finished playing, and saw some grubs working their way up and down and eating them. Good news; wherever the grubs happen to be is nor completely free of aphids. And the plant has started to flower! The score is as follows: Hoverfly larvae 1, Aphids 0.
