Well, Holly, that is strange and I think you've done well to send them off
for testing along with the soil. Will be most interested to hear the
results. What is most strange is that the shriveling is happening to
several different and unrelated species of plants. It would take a herd of
slugs to do in an old and large Anemone, I think...has to be something
else.
