VIBURNUM TINUS 'EVE PRICE'

I have this plant growing well in a large container and this morning I've noticed leaf damage which I think (judging by internet pics.) is the work of the adult viburnum beetle - don't see any larvae or any other signs of activity. Should I remove by pinkpeony

bee flies

but these are not around at this time of year and would be much larger. Apparently they are parasitic on solitary bees, wasps and beetles. Fortunatley they don't sting! Bombylius major, yes, more than we usually see Masses here in the south too - far more than last year by LM

Planting Lily plants in the border

have three stems you should have three bulbs. I would tend to put them in the garden just as they are, as if you try to separate them you could damage the roots. Remember to check them daily for the scarlet lily beetle. by sara anne
