A beauty I hope the lily beetle keeps away I found them on mine in the past.

Me too, then the Lily Beatles go onto the Lilies.

Yes that's the problem. I have my lilies in pots so I can do what Gnarly gnome suggest tip the old soil out where they hybinate and give them new soil.

Not in 'not a bog' the Snakes Head Fritillary' is in quite a sunny place, but rain runs to this area behind the (preformed ) pond. Sarracenia demand a sunny position, although demanding of growing medium, that is damp peaty soil, no nutrients, they get that from their carniverous nature.
