Scale Insects (Superfamily Coccoidea)Observer
shellhathDescription
We have large Ekebergia capensis trees in our garden in PE. Every so often, these things, whatever they are, fall off onto our deck. The white and pink ones were found very recently, the brown one a year ago but it was the same size and colour as the white one when I found it. Any ideas?

Wind Heath (Erica hispidula)Observer
simonsephtonDescription
Probably E hispidula, but I have the following reservations about calling it:
- never seen hispidula growing out of a rock face in a seep;
- never seen hispidula with white stigma;
- never seen hispidula with translucent corolla;
many other hispidula growing in immediate vicinity - both pink and white, but all with red stigmas and far more floriferous.
