I found a lily beetle on my crown imperials yesterday. The things are around again.

Hate them, thanks for the heads up.

Gave up on growing potted lilies some years back due to a combination of lily beetle and vine weevil attacks.
I'm trying lilies in pots again this year by treating the plants every few days with provada for the beetle and a post flowering 24 hour pot submersion to drown the weevils.
It's early days but so far so good. :happy7:

I got a couple on the Fritts a couple of weeks ago, I'd like to think I got them before they had laid eggs but I know I'm just deceiving myself so I'm checking all the likey plants regularly.
