Does this look like pest πŸ˜₯

The Solomon seal are starting to die off and I just wanted to make sure that this is just the #SolomonSeal dying. Not all of the Solomon seal have this stuff on them. #PestControl #SolomonSealClub #plantyplants

This looks a lot like sunburn to me.
If you remember #SolomonSealClub there were these red dots on the Solomon seal before
@sarahsalith do you know?πŸ˜₯
@tmbryant37 HEWF ok that makes sense!
@tmbryant37 do you think because they are getting to the end they can’t handle it as much?
Agree w @tmbryant37. Just up their watering a bit
@RJG it has been really hot this past week + maybe they are getting to the end of there rope faster because of this. They’re in the ground so they don’t get watered but as long as it’s not pest it’s ok. It’s raining right now
@PlantyPlanter so jealous. I have to water my in ground plants like 2x a day rn
I agree with @tmbryant37 - looks like sunburn.
@RJG I had to too! It would literally rain in every town but mine and then all of a sudden it poured and has been raining every day since! I had to water my POND!
@PlantyPlanter sometimes it be like that.
I agree with the others, they just need more water right now. Even if it feels humid to us the ground still dries faster as it gets hotter. So the leaves are happy but the roots are not.

They may die out for the year a little sooner than normal but the bulk of this clump/bush looks to be pretty healthy so I'd say they'll be around for a while longer
@tmbryant37 do you also think this is sun burn? It’s in a different area
@tmbryant37 when you say a while longer, do you mean for this year?
That last photo is just physical damage from something chewing on the leaves, probably a beetle of some kind.

But yeah, I mean for this growing season. These guys are perennials so eventually they'll die off for the winter but probably not anytime soon.
@tmbryant37 ok! Ya these guys aren’t going anywhere! I guess being somewhere for 100 years will cause that to happen!
