Hi
I found these 3 little critters under my dahlia pot this morning. Any idea what they are? Are they good for the garden or bad? If they're bad, how do I eradicate them?
Thank you Liz

earwigs
Question from
Hello
What is an effective way of getting rid of earwigs? Can you spray plants and flowers with an insecticide? I had them last year eating my clematis flowers.

Sick tulips
Question from
Hi, I have a cut new flower bed dedicated to tulips. They have started looking sick at one end of the bed . Is it a virus?? Should I get rid of all the tulips in the bed and start again next year? Can I use the same bed? Hopefully some one will tell me it’s frost.

Sudden discolouration of indoor lilies
Photo from
Hello everyone. We have two different lilies: one a Peace Lily, indoors, one stem of which suddenly went completely yellow/brown (pic 1) recently while the other main stem remains normal. The leaves (pic 2) have also developed brown patches.
Pic 3 is a Calla Lily, also indoors, which has simultaneously developed brown spots in parts, as shown, just recently after the summer.
Does anyone know what might be wrong - and are they likely to be linked from the plants being in the same room? Is it an autumn phenomenon?
We've had them about 3 months and haven't done much differently recently. They have occasional quick spells on the patio when watering (once per 1-2 weeks), and therefore some brief exposure to external air conditions and autumnal winds.
Any suggestions welcome - thank you!
