Author Message   Marvie  Posted on Friday, May 11, 2007 - 10:41 am EST :    Any ideas? Advice? This is the second set of blooms on these, they just opened yesterday and now something is munching them. I'm assuming it's a bug, too high up to be the bunnies. There are more buds getting ready to open, and I'd like to prevent them from being eaten if possible.

One way to get rid of them is to pick them off. The ones I had on my Iris were about 1/4" long and irridescent with what looks like an elephant's trunk. I am not sure if there are any insecticides for them. Good luck. Ted Woodhawk - Ca, Zone "9"   Otnorot  Posted on Tuesday, May 15, 2007 - 07:31 am EST :    Thats what earwigs do to my iris.
