| I failed last year with Toad Lillies and apparently like hating myself so I thought I would try again this year. Sure enough these guys are dying again. I don't know what I am doing wrong, I'm following all the requirements for the tricyrtis formosana. I need help and I would be uber greatful! |

| I used my unholy powers of deduction to figure out it was a squirrel using the lillies as lunch. I will walk you all through my sherlock holmes deducting process. First thing this morning (11:30AM) I went outside to survey my Eden (2 hostas and a toad lily). Much to my surprise a horrific beast (one fuzzy wuzzy squirrel) was plucking the toad lily's leaves from it violently. I drew my breath and charged the beast (I froze and watched). The beast fled in terror(The squirrel ate casually and frolicked off). My next question is will a drinking glass keep my lilly safe? |

| Hi, At Home Depot there is a deer spray that may work. It's basically hot pepper, eggs, and garlic. If you search the web there are homemade recipes. I myself make my own mix which I spray on the plant. If the squirrel is eating your flowers, he'll get a spicy surprise. It's humane and it works for me. Last year was my first year for toad lilies. Very cool. |
