The Culprits !

I took one of the chrysanthemums I was plant-sitting into the house for the past ten days.  I was surprised to find it yesterday a little droopy and discolored.

It's outside now and here is why--

It spit seeds all over the room!

I found the wall, woodwork, table and stools underneath,

and the floor covered with little black seeds.

The were also laying in sticky, green pollen 

which had to be washed as well as vacuumed.

The story gets better.

I just took a photo of one I found on the floor.

They are bugs!

Dead.

Not ticks. Squishy...

Yuck.
