RE: Daylily rust

Bill & Paul, 
     It is the only alternate host mentioned in the article - which I did not write.  Of course the spores can spread like any other fungal spore.  The pustules erupt and the spores become air borne. Depending on the fungi, other conditions (temperature being one) can be necessary to cause the spores to infect the plant they land on.

Is Patrinia the ONLY alternate host for this rust, Marilyn?  I find it hard to believe that it is.  If it is the ONLY host, then if someone has rust-free plants and no Patrinia near by, daylily rust should not rear its ugly head, right?

sorry-the rust can spread by none sexual spores.  It needs the alternate host for sex.  But can spread to other plants without sex.
