I think a lot of the problem is the all the rain we've been getting. They were nice last year, not so many blistered leaves. The hollyhocks get that same little black sawfly that eats the swamp hibiscus, too. I'd rather pick the larvae off that one plant than hunt all over the hollyhocks for them.

Sorry if you've seen this in the daylily forum, but here's this morning's new unnamed Westbourne seedling. The rippled part is blacker than it looks in the picture!
