>A new question : Why did the flowerbuds on my Dietes brown up and wither. >They have this greyish mold on the dead buds Strangely its only the >flowerbuds and not their stem. I am getting mold on Muscari leaves and flowers for the first time ever. Maybe it is because I have a new species. But I rather suspect it is the fact we have had virtually continuous rain for over two weeks, which is unusual here. All that constant dampness is allowing funguses to grow that would normally be be kept in check by the warm dry spells between rain installments.
