Petunia discoloration

Rule #6b

Bumping is pretty much anything that when the same member repeatedly posts on a thread for no apparent reason, and so it can only be concluded that they are doing it to bump the thread up, which is against the rules. I know leewald wasn't trying to do it, but those posts were intentionally spread out and could've been said in just one post. Just sayin' 'sall. didn't mean to sound overauthoritave

OK, don't scare the new guy off, now!

 

[Detlor Poultry]

Oh no - PLEASE DON'T SUE ME!

 

[Detlor Poultry]

Besides, we often let the rules slip here ourselves, what with prayer requests all over the place....

 

[Detlor Poultry]

And constant teasing....




And let's not forget hypocrisy okay, sorry, but this is my sense of humor!

There seems to be quite a bit of bumping on this thread and not from the newbie. Anyways it's not spider mites that are on my petunias, anyway not based on their description. Some leaves also have brown patches on them. That's what has me concerned the most.

sounds like aphids could be your bugs. they can be either green or sort of look dark brown/black. i know i'll get some groaning about linking to wikipedia but this does help some in understanding what you should be looking for. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphid

Here's some pics of the petunias. You can see the black bugs on some of the pics, not very detailed though.

My petunias looked similar to that all last season; but I don't know what it is, so I shall bow out of this collaboration... row
