The red lily (album scleroderma) is an evergreen perennial plant that grows in the southern United States, specifically along the coast from Cape Hatteras in South Carolina to the Gulf of Mexico. The red lily plant comes from a family of eight plant families (lorophytes), and includes the popular gladiolus. The word “lily” means “light”. The plant derives its name from a Latin word that means “dear”. In addition to the common names “pleure”, “cherry”, “orange” and “lily”, the plant is called a pansy, panacea, or simply pans. It has been used historically for its therapeutic value since ancient times.
The Red Lily Plant is noted for its bright flowers that bloom late in the year. The Red Lily looks more like a small rose than a lily and its blooms range in color from white to pink to purple. The wood lily bulb (oxylia cordifolia), which is the source of the Red Lily’s main source of food, blooms during the summer and provides the blooms and leaves that are most commonly seen.
The Red Lily can grow to a width of three to four feet and produces flowers ranging from lilac to blue. The Red Lily’s flowers are produced in two different stages, the sepals, which are the first to open and the rosettes which last. Both types of flowers have a rounded flower head containing many petals, which form the base of the flower. All stages of development are a long and pendulous process.
All stages produce edible fruits, which are black in color. The larvae (worms) are black in color as well. The adults produce seeds which can be eaten on their own or by eating the leafy greens they anchor. The seeds are surrounded by a protective coat of wax on the surface of the seeds and this coat protects them from ants and other insects. The adult insects eat the leaves and the seeds as they come into contact with the soil.
All lily beetles feed on the sap which contains the food source of the lily plant. They do not have any appetite for the human tissues since they do not use them. The Red Lily Leaf beetle latches on to the lower leaf of the plant then sucks all the sap that contains carbohydrates and excretes them into the soil. The Lily Leaf beetles leave a sugar solution on the undersides of the leaves. This sugar solution attracts water and the beetles feed on the sugar water until it is completely soaked up.
All of us live in a world where there are insects of many kinds. They make us happy if we get to know them. We need insects to pollinate our garden, to keep our landscaping and gardens clean and we need many types of birds to help us preserve wildlife. Red Lilies is one group of flowering plants that are threatened by many types of pests. The Red Lily Flower beetle is found at the base of the Red Lily leaf and the Eastern Red Lily is found on the rhode island.
One common pest problem faced by home landscaping lovers is the Red Lily Leaf beetle which can produce hundreds of black or regular stink bugs in two weeks time. These bugs do not fly but they lay their eggs under the soil. When they hatch these bugs fly towards the light and they are invisible to the human eye. If you attempt to remove these bugs using a fly swatter, you will only succeed in disturbing the adults that will not do any harm to you. To get rid of the immature bugs that are laid eggs under the soil, you have to dig up the entire area, wash the soil and spread sand around to exfoliate the soil and then apply a weed killer. This can take two weeks but it is better than the usual one-month wait.
Red Lily plants are famous for their flowers and the Red Lily Flower beetle is also known as the Queen Lily Bug. This is one pest problem that cannot be completely eradicated even with rigorous insecticide application. It can however be controlled to a very large extent, if you know how to control its advance and grow it in such a way that it is unable to reach its fruiting period. You can use a weak insecticide for this but do not use a poison with care as it is harmful for humans and for pets. To control this pest, you can also use a natural repellent that can prevent the beetles from coming back.
