I am only seeing thrip damage (but pretty bad damage) on just one cultivar, 'Magical Indeed'.
The slugs and snails, however, seem to be out shredding everything in force, thanks to our wet winter. I guess it's time for another round of Sluggo.
I am seeing leaf streak on some plants that I have not seen it on before - again maybe thanks to our wet winter. I think we may have touched on this before... whether there was any connection between rust resistance and leaf streak resistance, but I can't remember if there was any consensus or conclusion. We should maybe have a line in the database for leaf streak status (resistant, susceptible), just as for rust.
At least the damage caused by thrips, slugs/snails, leaf streak, and rust can all more or less be easily identified. What has me stumped at the moment is that *something* seems to have attacked one particular pot of one particular daylily. My garden helpers claim it was a rabbit (solely on the basis of having seen a rabbit in the area, as though they haven't been all over the garden), but the rabbits have access to an entire garden of daylilies, so why that pot? (Rabbits (supposedly) don't like daylilies anyway (at least per some sites), and that has been my experience here, these past 3-4 years of the rabbit invasion.) The pot *had* gotten knocked on its side, and this was in an area where there was a gopher hole, so now I am wondering if maybe some wandering gopher took a liking to the leaves?
It could, theoretically, have also been eaten by a deer (daylily foliage is a salad bar to them, and one particular cultivar here must be the equivalent of deer candy or deer nip)... but I think that we have now FINALLY succeeded in fencing the deer OUT, as evidenced by no damage whatsoever to several roses and certain other plants, including daylily scapes with buds and blooms.
Anyway, getting back to rust... my bottle of Serenade concentrate has arrived, so maybe (among all of the other chores tomorrow) I can work myself up to try it out on a test plant. (Spraying bacteria around (supposedly beneficial or not) almost seems as bad as the disease...)
