This is so gross... I've noticed a lot of flies hanging out on my coneflowers and now they're congregating in some lilies. It's not like the flowers are rotten or anything! It disgusts me to think my lilies are becoming a fly brothel.
But why??
Where are we going, and why am I in this hand-basket?
Moby, I had the fly thing going on with 'Bon Bini' when they first opened, I've never seen that before this year. The flies only converged on the blooms for a day or two, but it sure was nasty looking- sure didn't want to stick my nose in there!

Thanks, but I have enough plus I ordered a few of the new ones from Ella's co-op. Hot Lava is a new one I'm growing this year. This is not a great photo, but I like it.
