This was taken from a current horticultural news source..Be on the look
out..Discouraging as these were probably the only plants I know of the
were impervious to almost any and everything..
C.....
* Two rust fungi, including daylily rust, were recently discovered in
San Diego County, said Karen Robb of Univ. of Calif. Co-op. Ext.
Puccinia distincta was found on Bellis perennis, but also will attack
Calendula officinalis, Felicia bergeriana and Senecio cruentus, she
said.
This marks the first time it has been observed in the U.S. This rust
looks similar to geranium and snapdragon rust. P. hemerocallidis
(daylily rust) was found on daylilies for the first time in California.
It
appears the plants were already infected when they were moved into
San Diego County. View images of the rusts at
