    Hi folks - I have this growing in a pot in the garden.
    It's grown from a bulb I planted a couple of months ago - but I have no idea what it is.
    Its currently being massacred by an army of small brown beetle-type bugs.


    Can anyone shed any light on

    (a) what the plant is,

    (b) what the brown bugs are, or

    (c) how to save it?


    Many TIA!

    I wish you happy hunting at night time !

    Been like you, loved my plants but every mornign they looke ddifferent than the day before.
    Almost every night,after 11ish went hunting and found lots of small little creatures eating my plants.

    I have opened a post here somewhere,but thats the only way i found it worked.
    Ah,and some coffee grinded dropped around the plants did ,somehow,miracle too...

    Good luck.
