> I have a problem. Started last year and is rampant this year.
>
> The bloom stalk comes up with plump buds. Before they open, the spathe begins to turn brownish and the bud inside withers. No blooms, therefore.
>
> Last year this happened here and there, but is rampant this year. Last year, I was told when I started inquiring that I had "bud blast."
>
> I'm not so sure. This year, I opened one damaged bud and found many teeny, teeny black creatures moving about. I might say mites, except I see no webbing.
