Pictures 1-3 are Asiatics, 4 & 5 are Orientals. It seems to be hitting them both. Yes we had someone come in with a grinder and grind up some corn stalk bales... very nice mulch! I have wood chip mulch in this bed here which I've had for a few years now.. but also found a couple with these leaves in there.
Even with that chicken poo sitting for as long as it did (probably 2 years) yeah I suppose it could have been too strong for the one type... all of the Sphinx are like that.
It's hitting all the beds with a lily here lily there method. I'll see if I can take a better picture later this evening of the different beds. Some have mulch right around the lilies and some don't have it added yet. Will get to that soon though!
Nope I don't take you as being nosy... that is how we all learn is by asking questions.
and I sure do appreciate the advise!
