Gazina flower

Do you know what is eating them?

I have no idea what is eating them. I do not see any bugs. I don't think we have rabbits. It is just the petals of the flower...not the whole flower. I sprayed with Sevin and it did no good. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am willing to try anything. Thanks

Is 'Sevin' an animal repellent? If you think it may be birds or animals, why not try some netting for a short time and see what happens - OR - you could stick some pieces of holly or other prickly shrub around them so that the critters get the message and leave your flowers alone. Also watch out for snails/slugs and take appropriate measures against these.

We live in SC and have a lot of frogs. Do frogs eat flowers? Thanks for you help. I will see what I can do about something prickly.

Here is another thought on the gazinias........could it be that the flower is growing that (petals look eaten) way due to too much water, not enough water, poor soil etc? What do you think about that?

I think that frogs only eat insects etc.
