Re: Lily beetle

Not just the north, Kitty. Lilies are one of the most beautiful flowers one can grow anywhere. I just love mine.

Stop growing lilies????
I haven't had a chance to check the link to see if I have seen this beetle,
but I know I had another last year that had multiplied from the year before
and was very destructive. I can't stop growing lilies; they are one of the
more beautiful things we can grow in the north.

These #$#@^%$&** beetles arrived in our area (Central Maine) last
season. I first noticed them when they defoliated an Asiatic Lilly that
I had. What a surprise & how gross to take the eggs off. I called the U
of Maine & they said to use neem & hand pick the tomato red beetles off.
I had them under control before the end of the season (I have about 100
plants) but I'm afraid I will have to do the same from now on. The chap
as the U of M said the best way to control them is to stop growing the
lilies!! Some day perhaps.--- NOT---
