these are my wild blues , they pop up in the veggie garden every year and I leave a couple because I like the color

they have developed ???something???







my concern is what? and will it spread to my other MG
I have several other MG in other parts of my gardens , none have shown any signs of (?) what ever this is .

Thanks for any suggestions

Leaf pathogens will become abundant in extended rainy periods or periods of high humidity. The plants should withstand it if healthy otherwise. Airflow through the leaves is recommended so the leaves are not wet for extended periods of time.

I think I am seeing a couple of things going on...if they are soft and fuzzy mealy bugs and if you look close to what I circled it looks like a white fly maybe, the mass could be eggs.
They will spread to all different plants. Try a soapy water spray to kill what you can.

must be humidity , lots of foggy mornings ....no rain
I went out and felt the white bumps under the leaves and they are hard like barnacles
anyway checked the other ''planted ''MG and no signs
I did go ahead and pull this plant and it went on the burn pile so no spreading whatever it is .

Thank you for the prompt responses

some of the ''planted'' ones

Hi Cinda. I've not seen that previously, before. I hope you get it resolved.
Though if you'd like some other Japanese, nil cv. seeds. Drop me a note, in my Tree Mail, to let me know...

Looks like White Rust. Search Albugo ipomoeae-panduratae

"Albugo ipomoeae-panduratae, or white rust, is an oomycete plant pathogen, although many discussions still treat it as a fungal organism. It causes leaf and stem lesions on various Ipomoea species, including cultivated morning glories and their relatives."

I found this thread again

I do believe you have correctly identified the ? Thing?
....so I did a lot of reading but it may be a bit over my head in terminology.....had to look up a lot of words and definitions
....still very interesting

Thank you.

Your welcome. It was a new one to me too.
