Daylily disease - Need ID

[catjac1975]

cat the day lilies I got from you are the easiest flowers in my garden. I do nothing to them and they flower away I love that type of plant

I will have to post some photos. We are at peak bloom. A site to behold.

Thank you for the advice about removing and burning the would-be flower heads, Annette. Will do!

Also I see that the beneficial nematode Steinernema Feltiae is the same I once used against Japanese beetles. It seemed to help, but who knows? My gardens are spread out over a couple acres, but I will try it around the area of these plants this coming Spring and hope for the best.

I realize now that I probably should have posted this thread under Diseases & Pests. Hindsight is 20/20, and I guess there is no way to move it there now.

Don't ever worry about posting in right section we are very easy going.

Threads also get high jacked a lot so by end it might fit into 5 or 6 sections

I remember one that was ABOUT hijacking threads and everyone tried to steer it off on some tangent every 2nd or 3rd post

I just checked the AHS website. It seems the gall midge occurs in the Puget sound region. Came from Europe-not widespread here. However if you think it is infested I would burn it.

Well Think our collective consciousness weaves the thoughts in various related directions.

I'm thinking about going that route.

This pest had to do some travelling to get here from the Pacific northwest. I bought these daylilies from a place in Tennessee, also far from the home of the dreaded midge.

I would doubt that it's the midge. What I read was as of 2017. Maybe you can drench it in something nasty. I am still going with needs more water.
