Well - I am learning things about this blog deal.  I set the time frame for retaining comments too short and now nothing is here.  I am setting it for 30 days now so don't delay if you want to see something before the internet sucks it back into hyperspace.

I had originally asked about your experience with daylily rot this year - we have seen Phytophthora cropping up.  Heard back from one California company that Coleonema has been suddenly dying lately which is a characteristic of this crop and its the right time of year for it.

I just got back from the Lectures In Bloom seminar that is held by Syngenta eveyr year in Las Vegas.  We had a great audience and heard about some new products that should be registered for ornamentals eventually.  We are expecitng to see Subdue MAXX with a foliar label in the next month or so and that will be a big help for aerial Phytophthora and also downy mildew.  Make sure you read the lable when it comnes out and follow it carefully.  we are expecting to see a 48 hour REI and also a requirement to tank mix for this foliar use.
