Good question, Donald. Seeing them from this angle, it doesn't look like spring sickness but something similar to spring sickness can happen when daylilies are sprayed with certain spreader-stickers.
Sabrina, what do the "eaten" leaves look like, can you post a picture of that? It wouldn't be aphids because they don't chew leaves, they puncture them.
For micronutrients for the most part you just need to lower the pH and then they become available to the plants. I don't think that's all of what's going on with your plants currently though. What exactly are they growing in?
