Lilies ... eaten by lily beetles AGAIN!!!

Oh dear! Thats such a shame. Now I'm thinking that I'm better off in Angus as we have no lily beetles....yet!

You're definitely better off, lily beetle-wise!
And other things too I bet. For example, your tiarella looks much healthier than mine. Mine is shrinking..

Well, yes, there are some plants that prefer a cooler climate. However, i too have a shrinking Tiarella! I'm hoping they will pick up over the 'summer'. Its dreadful here...we've had six weeks of rain, hail, wind. Plenty of sunshine too, but far too cold to call spring, let alone summer. I hope you are managing to spend a lot of time in France!

I can't believe you've got a shrinking Tiarella too. I looked at two of your Tiarella photos and they both look lush.
You've had six weeks of rubbish weather? We also had hail yesterday although it stopped right after it started (thank goodness). It'll be officially 'summer' in a few weeks. I hope you'll have a sunny and delightful one!

Thanks! I didn't show you the one thats shrinking! Its a pathetic looking thing. Hope you have a great summer too! :)

Same here Tommymoo I 've given up growing lilies I hate crushing the things , good job they don't bother the daylilies !! ;-)

Thanks for your comment to my old photo, Simbad!

I've got sooooo fed up with seeing all these brown leaves eaten by horrible creatures covered with their own cr*p that I've moved all these to a place I can't see much of them. With the mild winter, I've already seen 4 beatles on them in the last 2 weeks and they laid their eggs to boot!! Aghhhh!! Hate them!!

Your daylilies are eaten by something too. I found a grey caterpillar down in the soil; maybe s/he was the culprit. Or slugs? Hate all the pests!!

Oh no lily beetles already !!
These flippin pests I've been moving some daffodils today that had become overcrowded if I leave it till autumn I forget were all the snowdrops are and dig them up, thought I'd found a bare patch but when I dug I found loads of snowdrop bulbs minus all their roots and some grubs which had obviously eaten them needless to say the birds had a feast !!
Slugs can be a pest to the new Daylily foliage but once they get growing they seem to be OK , hoping the grey caterpillar isn't some new pest aaaaargh.

Isn't it just terrible, seeing your favourite plants eaten by something or suddenly go rotten. Poor snowdrops, their roots had been eaten! My chive bulbs (roots?) were eaten by slugs (or very tiny snails?) last year and my chive plot is now flat, nothing growing but weeds. So sad. Some of my hosta in the ground had gone rotten last year too. When I dug up the "remains" last week, all the roots/shoots had gone brown and crumbly. Very weird. I don't know what had happened to them. I didn't split it for 7 years or so and the clump's got too crowded, that's why? Got too packed, couldn't breath (?) and rotten to death? Haven't posted any photo of your Daylily on GoY but they are really nice, love them :-)
