I spray for beetles.Had no problems last year.
Countdown to spring! One garden photo per day - Part 5
Rose! :)
Me too, the key is to spray the soil too before the plants pop up to tall and continue every 3 -4 weeks approx.
Only one vendor has "Carmen" and they consider it RED! But if you look at the pictures they show, the 1st pic looks just the same color as mine.

Spray with what? DH doesn't like chemicals in the garden.
Neither do i but those devils require it!
Iris 'Everything Plus'
I use Sevin and Bayer Rose and Insect spray.
Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and use chems.
I also use Pixies spray plan.In spring when plants are just emerging and then every three weeks.The beetles have a 2 phase life cycle.
I found this method on the Lily forum last spring and I doubt there were 2 beetles on my whole property.
It has encouraged me to plant more lilies.

Very pretty!
Bayer rose spray seems a good idea. DH would not go for sevin as I have asthma, I should not get near sprays. thanks for the information.
thanks!
'Everything Plus' is a great iris, grows well.
I bought it in one of those grab bags.. can't beat the price either!
Neem oil is supposed to work on the Red devils too. I hand pick and keep their population down, but it is a shame that such wonderful plants are now under attack. Soapy water will wash off any of the nasty offspring that survive. The eggs are bright red and usually under leaves.
Nice sedum. I like the color too. Yellow roses get me every time Venu.
Lollipops are very sweet and the iris is gorgeous and a deal, wonderful.
This is from early June. The newest bed and the one that is getting an extension this spring, the yellow/blue garden.
i already have an order with lazy s&s - maybe i'll have to add that sedum
another hosta:) the last few are two years old - they have grown a lot since them, will have to take new pictures this spring and maybe even add there name to them:)
geez, it is a rose.sorry thought it was a daff. Yellow roses are my fav also so when Pat mentioned it I reaized my mistake!
Nice hosta Bill!
Cornus Satomi.
so no clouds in the sky - did you bring a water sprayer out for the droplets? nice shot

No sprayer either, post rain, (it was a very wet spring!) lol!
Victor 7??
Sounds 'sinister'! (lol!)
OK! I fixed it!! LOL
Actually it looked like a score - Victor 7, WC 2!! Guess I won. ^_^
Nice hosta, cornus and double daff you all, drops or not. I have raindrops in a very large percentage of pics from last season, it was hard not to have wet blooms.
Now to the important stuff...so when was Victor cloned and how many of him are there? May explain his wonderful gardens. Hmmmm? Oh and WC has two of him also? LOL
Won what, I thought it was 'Seven' the movie! (lol)
Great photos, everyone. Love the raindrops, Victor 8 and WC!
Raindrops on Ginza:
Raindrops is a mega gorgeous pic! Made me Gasp!

Beautiful shot, Pirl.

They're cuttings from the kitchen zonal geranium that blooms all year long inside, Victor.
Stella De Oro
LUV stella ^_^ Lady Diana
Great lilies Pirl
This is a NOID
Love 'Ginza' Pirl! Is that a new one for you?
Jen that is a perfect pic of Stella and d-nut those are some stunning tulips.
Ge, I don't have a guess on your lily but that flower looks huge!!!!
In the theme of spring....I can't wait to see the Trillium pop up again.
Its an average size lily.I'll see if there is a pic thats not a closeup.
I ordered 3 CopperKings and got 1 ,the other 2 bulbs were NOID's.
