Re the photo of what I take to be a calla lily: now that the SOB Japanese beetles have nearly destroyed all my non-Knockout roses for the year, they are going after the short red callas in my big patio flower box. This is intolerable! I had been just flicking them onto patio or driveway and stomping them (I call this "mechanical control"), but now I'm ready for chemical warfare. [mutter, mutter]
