Sue, I'm really happy I have not rust, believe me! And I'm happy spores don't live in the ground!
I was trying to understand, since I read daylily rust is Puccinia and the rusts we have here are of the same family too. The grower saw the same pictures and told me I have both spider mites and rust!!!!! I can't live like this, too much panic
So I will use that acaricide and that's it.
But... I have some other plants that have like brown/black spots on leaves, they get yellow and fall. So can I be sure it won't affect daylilies too, whatever it is?
