    I killed one on Sunday, couldn't believe it, never had them in the garden before. No where near the lilies though, it was crawling up the side of a raised bed near to mooli seedlingsimage. It was orange and dropped onto the soil, black on the underside so it must have been a lilly beetleimage

    Can you keep all the lily beetles down south please....image

    I didn't have too many problems with them up here until a few years ago but they were quickly despatched! I'm intending getting lilies here so will have to put a sign out for the birds....

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Killed one on a lilly in the GH today. Never had them before this year and all my lilies are grown in pots. Me thinks they've been imported in compost, is that possibleimage
