chilli pepper flower buds dying off.

Can anyone help,

:shock: :?: :?

I planted 3 varieties of chillies and two of peppers this year about May time in greenhouse.

About 3 weeks ago the chillies were covered with a reddish aphid (not spider mite). These I sprayed with a contact killer.

All plants have had abundant flowers but the chillies, after flowering and developing a bud (the chilli fruit) the flower stems are turning yellow diying out and and dropping off.

The rest of the plant is healthy and green.

I wouldn't worry too much. This happened with my habaneros last year but all of a sudden they just decided to produce chillies. It was probably around this time of year last year that they started setting fruit.
