I've never grown them before, but when I saw them at our local garden shop in 3 different colors, I just had to buy them. Anyway, something seems to be eating the petals in a perfectly even way all the way around. I've never seen anything like it. Each day the petals get shorter and shorter until there is nothing left but the center. I can't seem to find any bugs on the plants or in the soil. All other neighboring flowers are fine. The leaves are perfectly fine; whatever it is, it only likes the petals and it's apparently obsessive-compulsive in the way it eats the petals so evenly. Any ideas, girls?

We come from Nature, we go back to Nature; health & happiness in between requires intimacy with Nature.
