I noticed some leaves had been eaten from a cew of my pixie lilies, then this morning I found one just gnawed off! Can anyone tell me what might be doing this and what I should do to stop it??

Looks like some kind of a critter. Try beating up an egg-pour it in a quart bottle-fill with water-add a couple drops of veggie oil or dish soap. Spray your plants. Keeps deer and other critters away. Save is mixture, it gets better with age. Only the critters can smell it.

I have to make little cages of chicken wire for all my oriental lilies. It works for sure!
