I have the same plant and the leaf spots. I also have them on the canes. While Howatd is correct, I think the culprit is water/misting. This Den may be particularly sensitive to water/mist. If you do not have good air circulation, water does not evaporate and creates spotting. Since I have been very careful not to get any water on the leaves, the spots have stopped. Nice growing BTW! Clara PS the old spots will remain.

Don't know if anybody is interested in this tale, but now I need a bit of advice, too :( I have seen her twice since her son told me what happened, and she keeps telling me that she is So Sorry, that KiKi was trying to attack her and the man from Animal Control, and that she doesn't know how he got out. She said that her children never came on my property while I was gone. Well, the shoes appeared that day and remained in front of the portico until I gave them back to her son; KiKi wouldn't attack anybody and Animal Control said that he was a great boy [the lady who got him drives by my house everyday on the way to work, etc and is familiar with my animals so she wondered what was up with me when he was brought in, noticed how he was doing, etc]. Turns out not only was her kiddo right by the portico, but his truly and awfully ill-behaved cousin was visiting him that day. And, nothing will ever explain why she didn't call my Dad's cell # or mine or leave a note!! What the heck am I supposed to do as she tries to 'discuss' this with me? She keeps stopping after she says he tried to 'attack her and her guests' as if I'm supposed to apologize, and I just kind of say 'uh' and walk about the garden. Any suggestions on what to say? I'm just so through with her I don't feel like discussing a darned thing and would rather her stay in her own yard. Civil, fine... but I don't feel like discussing anything more than the weather, you know?

Leave the kiki's (proliferations) on the scape as long as possible. As long as the scape is green underneath the prolif. it is being fed. One way to prolong the scape life is to set a seed pod on the scape. When the roots are 1" long or longer you can plant them. I like to stick them next to the mother plant which makes it easier and quicker. I have sawdust mulch (from cat litter) around my daylilies so the prolifs stay moist because of the mulch. If your ground gets too dry at times you should cut them and put them in water with the water just above or at the crown area of the prolif. Change the water frequently and be sure to label the prolif if you have them from more than one cultivar.

I made this today and loved it! I'm not sure it still qualifies as "healthy" when you return to the pan for multiple servings though:). Recipe found on "Damn Declicious" blog. PS...I only had about 1/2 cup of quinoa on hand so used orzo for the other half and it was still delish. ONE PAN MEXICAN QUINOA Prep Time 10 minutes Cook Time 25 minutes Total Time 35 minutes Yield 4 servings Wonderfully light, healthy and nutritious. And it's so easy to make - even the quinoa is cooked right in the pan!

Add garlic and jalapeno, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in quinoa, vegetable broth, beans, tomatoes, corn, chili powder and cumin; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer until quinoa is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Stir in avocado, lime juice and cilantro. Serve immediately.
