Question
My Mom brought me an easter lily last time she came to town.  I have heard that you should just trash them after the flowers die, but I re-potted it anyway.  Soon after the leaves began to yellow and whither and I notices what looked like bug eggs on the underside of the leaves.  The eggs turned into little flying bugs.  Ick.  Do I trash the plant or try to treat it.  If I treat it.. what with?

Answer
Hi Jenny,

Trash the lily. It is a hybrid and it will not flower again so there is no point in keeping it, especially since it is a source of pests.

Please let me know if any of this is unclear or if you have any additional questions.
