Good advice on the borer from the Borer, but hold on! Let's not be so sure
that the plant in question is pseudacorus. I no longer have the original
message, but where does Doreen live? The pseudacorus season might be over
and it might indeed be a spuria she has--spurias bloom after pseudacorus is
finished..NARROW leaves and SLENDER blossom don't sound particularly pseudo
to me.
