Is red blotch a disease or is it simply a response to mechanical damage? I've seen it (I think we're talking about the same thing) in Sprekelia and Zephyranthes and maybe in Hymenocallis of the Ismene group. Jim McKenney Montgomery County, Maryland, USA, USDA zone 7, where the red blotches in the garden now are from fallen leaves.
