The lily bugs have been active. Those little darlings who love eating Asiatic Lilies, fornicating in great glee on the luscious leaves (see below!), then the larvae live in their own poop on the plants. The flowers that result are quite droopy, if you don't either catch them, drown them in soapy water, or feed the bugs to your ducks. They are really gross!
I have been happy with the results of the Neem Oil. A simple, natural solution.
You can order it, if it isn't in one of your local nurseries.
You mix a bit with water, and add some surfactant, and spray the plants every 5 - 7 days.
