Not happening to me, Gene. My crocosmia look very healthy, without a spot or
streak on the leaves.
Solfaterre is a nice looking plant, although I find the crocosmia look less
exciting in person than they do in magazine pictures. You have to mass your
bulbs pretty tightly to get the kind of effects that they show-but then what
else is new in garden photography.
Oh, and my echinops look perfectly healthy too. Never had an insect problem
with them yet.
