? rust on Martagon Lily

15 years ago

My martagon lily's lower leaves have a yellow/rusty appearance especially to the edges. Could this be a reflection of a lot of rain we have had recently or could this be indicative of a fungal problem? The plant is in bud but has not bloomed yet. I would be hesitant of spraying it at this time. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I ended up moving my martagon to another bed and it looks much healthier although it was slower to come up because it is in more shade. I think too much moisture ultimately was the problem. Moving it set it back in that there are less stems but in the long run I think it was for the best.
