    One or many we all like to see our flowers look nice. May I inquire as to which fungicide you will use? I have enough beds to try more than one and it would be a good experiment. As it is the end of the season I will learn more for next season and plan accordingly. Removing vegetation is a must. I too have not encountered any pustules and am interested in locating any alternate host. Interrupting the life cycle of the fungus would seem to be a good strategy.

    Jerry I will let you know which fungicide once I buy it. I will consult one of the websites for their recommendations. Re alternative hosts, I think I read in several places that an alternative host is not required for the spread of daylily rust.

    Interesting.....a way to look at the history of Puccinia hemerocallidis in your garden. Look at the foliage of old daylily pictures. This may take time....I have lots of pictures.
