Hi, David, please give me your address. I will send you lily bulblets. You can send me a check for the postage later. My email address is pitimpinai@gmail.com Would you like tiger lily bulbs/bulbils too? I have a ton of them. I have just cut down lily stems so I won't be able to identify the bulblets.

Apparently someone added some new spam to an OLD thread (which has obviously been removed.) Wow, I mean old. Glad the spam's removed, and how cool to see such an old discussion still kicking around. It's even formatted differently. (Putting a fake email addy so this post doesn't cause me to get MORE spam.) My favorite lilies are Lycoris and the Asiatics, like Stargazer.

Hi Tammy, I have lots of yellow daffodils, and will trade you 3 of my bulbs for each one of yours. Let me know. Jean recipesaver2

The beetles and their larvae only eat stems and foliage - the bulbs are unaffected. So no need to dig up and clean or move :-) And the lilies should come back just fine next season. If the beetles are present in your area, there is not much you can do to deter them. Other than avoid planting lilies :-) Hand picking is the most effective if laborious solution. And there are some insecticides you can use but most will be broad spectrum and affect other, more beneficial insects as well. Neem oil is pretty benign and together with hand picking can reduce larvae as well as deter adult predation.
