Turk's Cap Lily (Lilium superbum), is a rare one for
Forest Park Queens NY. Seen and photographed with the help of my friend and botany extraordinaire, Mike Feder. Turk's-cap lily flowers have a green star at the center, which makes a good identifying mark for this plant. The green star will distinguish Turk's-cap lily from tiger lily (Lilium trigrinum), a plant from Asia that sometimes escapes from gardens. When in bloom Turk's-cap lily, has a
gorgeous flower.The Viburnum Leaf Beetle, Pyrrhalta viburni(Paykull), is an invasive, non-native beetle that first appeared in New York along Lake Ontario in 1996, and has steadily spread. It is a voracious eater that can defoliate viburnum shrubs entirely. Plants may die after two or three years of heavy infestation. This image is the Larvae in the first stage. Tags:
