I have a lovely strong plant of stargazer lily just coming into flower now and notice the leaves are being destroyed by some insect or other.There are rust marks on the leaves and holes also!On closer inspection there is a kind of mushy black substance clinging to the leaves looks like a squashed bug of sorts!Do you know what it is and what I can do to eradicate it please?

I have a lovely white azalea that flowered profusely two yrs ago, and since then when it flowers it looks as though its withering at the same time as the flowers are brown/withered looking in parts,some have brown centres before flowereing! any ideas, it is otherwise healthy looking and is now reverted to all green leaves again after flowering has finished.
