I am finding it is such a bad insect year. My beloved carefree daylilies are being plaged by Japanese beetles and thrips. Anybody else having this problem and what to do?
I am located western Maine

I only have a few daylilies, but so far they are free of bugs. I see that DeerWood Farm & Gardens in Waterford (583-2412: open daily 9-5) has Daylily Days going on right now from July 16 to Aug 7. The ad says he has over 7000 daylilies. He may be able to advise you. I have never been to this place but have heard good things about it. I want to go sometime.

I can't say that I have really had the Japanese Beetle problem too bad this year. Pretty much just killed them every day with my hands and now they're gone.

I created an album with the daylilies that bloomed for me this year if you are interested in checking it out.

Hope you enjoy,
Kim

I have had some Japenese beetles around mainly my roses. I do see them on my daylilys but they only seem to be eating the flowers that have all ready bloomed.

Kim,
Your daylilies are wonderful. Really enjoyed veiwing them. I too have very acidic soil and it has been a chore to amend. Was really shocked when we were testing the soil to seed pasture for our horses that we needed to add 4 ton per acre to raise it to min ph 5.3 My daylilies seem to do well.You have been an inspiration to get them pictured and labeled.
Thanks for sharing,
lanie
