We noticed yesterday that two of our lilies were covered in little white bugs and the leaves/stalks had started to turn dark.

One of the lilies has bent over and is touching an azalea and it looks like they have spread to it.

Would love help identifying and also what to use to get rid of them. Don't mind losing the lilies but want to save the azalea if possible.

Aphids - of some species - many species/colors.

Numerous control methods - hose them off initially, then soapy water, insecticidal soap, all season horticultural spray oil, insecticides (neem oil, imidachloprid - what I usually use as a spray and drench, bifenthrin, …….).

Internet search aphid control on ornamental plants for what ever state you reside in - AL or GA - Auburn Univ or Univ of GA Cooperative Extension Service will have horticultural facts sheets and suggested control methods. Here is one from Clemson to get you started LINK
