I don't have any evening primrose, though I do like them and there are some good native ones around.<BR/><BR/>Chuck, I think the borers came from some contaminated plants (from a local nursery around here). I really loved the irises and they seemed to be really thriving in the meadow until about a month ago, so it really is devastating. Apparently they are the most serious pest of irises.Gardener of La Manchahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16457774843474364872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331616109066354627.post-73061708071631521982008-07-12T21:50:00.000-07:002008-07-12T21:50:00.000-07:00Oh, how awful. <BR/><BR/>What brings these creatures?chuck b.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00882763861745236443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331616109066354627.post-4856607038195726752008-07-08T09:37:00.000-07:002008-07-08T09:37:00.000-07:00Your blog is well done and a photographic treat for the eyes. <BR/><BR/>I noticed your bit on Euphorbia down below. I always perk up when I see Euphorbia mentioned. To me, like what appears to be your Evening Primrose with those yellow blooms, those happen to be two plants I personally cannot plant enough of.<BR/><BR/>Nice blog!Stevehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08001918168749714780noreply@blogger.com
