Hi Hazel, I'm a newbie myself! To the forum and to gardening but they are a very friendly and helpful bunch here. image lots of great knowledge and advice. 

To add a pic you click on the tiny tree icon to the top right of your message box where you type. Its quite easy, it will instruct you what to do but it won't work on phones just tablets and PCs I believe.

Anyway, welcome and  hope you enjoy it here, someone will be along to help with the plant ID I'm sure! image

    Welcome Hazel image

    Its hard to identify plants by description but you will get an answer with a photo image

    Click on that little tree picture above the new message box

     

    If you get an error message just exit it and the photo will start to upload.

    When I uploaded some pics some days ago I got an error message, again and again, and became quite irate. Then I discovered that if I ignored it and let the page do its thing the picture got uploaded anyway... maybe worth a try?

    And welcome, I am pretty new too, and everyone is just lovely.

    Yes, I know the lily beetle - not only do they have no natural predators in the UK, they're flippin' sneaky too - if the adults know you're after them they drop to the ground and land upside down so you can't see their red wing-cases - and worse than that, their offspring hide on the underside of leaves and cover themselves with their poop in an attempt to camouflage themselves - honestly they're worse than an adolescent's bedroom image  But get some kitchen roll and wipe the lilies from bottom of the stem to the top and get rid of the little .............. critters image
