Hi Anja,' Mrs Kint' is just the name of the azalea variety. It was actually one of my Nanna's old pot plants. She's dead now, I hope she would approve of what I've done with it, its a bit smaller than it once was :D

It may pay to evict that resident before it causes you some heart problems, I have several species of squatters in my Azalea collection and many of these cause damage to the plants health or structure. If it is a grub or caterpillar, it goes for sure. :x :shock: :o ;)
