I think he was referring to Australian states other than the state of Queensland, not to the U.S. At least that's how I read the post. I wonder if I'll see rust here. I'm actually thinking it may be like leaf spot on bearded iris - bad in the years when the conditions are right and not seen in other seasons. Not a lot of daylilies grown in my area of Texas. Too dry, probably, and possibly too hot and windy in combination with the dryness. They certainly are grown east and south of my part of the state.
