| I noticed today that some of my stargazer lilies had their top leaves stuck together. Inside I found a tiny white worm/caterpillar in a sticky cocoon that had eaten holes through the leaves to reach the center.
I've googled this and found nothing. What is this? It's destroyed the blooms on at least 4 of my stargazers. I haven't even begun to look at the rest of my lilies. Afraid of what I will find. Thanks in advance |
