Lily beetle
The red lily beetle have been at work, and I'm not completely mobile
at the moment. So far, my lilies haven't had a full-scale assault, but my beloved snake's-head fritillaries have been copping it a bit. I've caught a few and squashed them, and gone over the leaves for eggs and larvae; but it occurs to me that the fritillaries are pretty near over anyway, with seed pods fairly well developed and many leaves looking tired. So I'm going to cut them off and dispose of the little sods' food supply. How sensitive are snake's-heads to cutting down before they die down naturally? -- Mike. |
