Day Lilies killed by red bugs
My poor day lilies had the life sucked out of them by small bright red
flying bugs. I've had 6 years of success with their lovely blooms--this was the first year they were infested! The leaves die and the plant falls over. I thought day lilies were pest resistent! Does anyone know what these terrible (yet pretty) bugs are and how to avoid them in the future? Thanks. Mary |

If they are lilies, you might have asparagus beetles:

What puzzles me is why the one plant with all parts poisonous to humans
(Datura) is also the one in that corner of the garden that slugs adore. Finally dribbled a chemical barrier of Sluggo and hope that will disssuade them. zemedelec |

The slugs (which I realize are NOT insects) have been eating my digitalis - also toxic. |

them. zemedelec Don't eat them slugs! No fear...although it is a point of local pride to eat anything that doesnt eat you first: alligator (too greasy and fishy for me) the dread nutria, a sort of cross between a beaver and a large aquatic rat with long orange front teeth (not bad, a little like a fat rabbit---but until I can buy it in civilized packaging like chicken I refuse to take a whole skinned and gutted carcase home and pick out all the little bones again} and so on.

the ladybugs arent killing the lilies, they are eating the aphids that are sucking on
your day lilies. I noticed this last two years that the peonies no longer have a lot of sap oozing from the buds... they were covered with the ladybugs chomping down on the aphids.
