Connie:
Thanks for sharing the information and web links about daylily rust.
Judging from the article from Florida, it may be headed my way! Just as an
aside...I find it interesting that it's being reported in California and
Florida, since those are the two states I associate most with rigid plant
import restrictions. Seems kind of ironic, although I suppose that a high
proportion of imported plants enter the country through those two states.
