Re: Spots, heat, blossoms
Hi Kathie,
1. Hard to tell with out seeing the yellowing on the leaves could be nothing
or look underneath and see if there is white patches of powdery mildew.
2. Hella wind all season here--brutal on the leaves not much heat yet today
was 90+ ---misting.
3. This is a tough call as I have had a lot of stubborn or deformed petals
before that don't open all the way. All you can do is wait and see if it
opens tomorrow if not probably missed the window of opportunity.
