I had two of these last year Amy...this year, not a sign. Ah well that's gardening for you I suppose.

Just squashed a lily beetle today. I thought they had finished for this year.

Great picture, Amy. No lily beetles here since they finished off the lilies last year.

So, Lily Beetles like Lilies, TRICYRTIS, and Fritillaries, bad news.

What a shame Waddy , I've never seen the Scarlet Lily Beetle on these in previous years as you say something else to keep an eye on :o(

It looks a lot like the cultivar Taipei Silk Amy.
Lily beetles are a problem with Tricyrtis.

Before I moved them they were planted in gravel Keith maybe that deterred the Beetle , they are growing and spreading really well since being moved but are in soil just the right conditions for the dreaded beetle .. Grrrr

Personally I think that anywhere they can have sex are the ideal conditions for Lily beetle as they always seem to be mating when I find them!!!!!!!!!!!
