Re Karen Cooper's message: Welcome back, Karen. I hope Gene Bush is still
around! I suspect he's pretty busy, though.
I have not seen this powder on my jack-in-the-pulpits, but something
remarkably similar has been appearing for the past couple of years on my
mayapples. I wonder if it's the same thing. They are growing near the
jacks, and I'd hate for them to catch it.

jacks, and want to cure them. Does spraying them down with hydrogen
peroxide work? (I saw that advice on an organic gardening web site.)
There's 100's of jacks in my yard... I do not want to lose them all.
