Leaf problem

[Sue]

This is freaking me out. Is this fungus or virus? Anybody have any idea? It could be either, best I know . . .

Wow, that is strange...maybe crop circles?
Seriously, from the pattern I would think some bug is doing it. Very odd. Is it only on the one plant?

Cheers!

It's worst on this one, but if you look at the bottom of the photo you'll see a couple of other affected leaves.

Hi , Is it a new plant, imported ? there is a picture on the Compost forum with damage that is a little like yours I found info . on a weevil that makes the red circles, I don't think we have it in the US.... Yet !. Your evil twin Gin

BD - you are really hung up on the alien life form things - aren't you??

Sue - does the underside of the leaf look the same, or is the damage only on the one surface?

[LJA]

Looks to me too like something (things) hatched and started chewing. Fungus may have set in secondarily.

The damage doesn't look to me like other photos I've seen of "classic" virused plants, but of course that's not saying a whole lot....

LoL! Well, I guess I just believe that it would make things a whole lot more interesting to find little aliens from Mars on one of Sue's plants. Got to be a heck of alot better than virus or fungus.


Sue, I saw that it was on a lower leaf, but was not sure if it was the same plant.

Cheers!

Wow, that's so weird. Looks like the aliens came and painted on the leaf, trying to communicate in some sort of language that's made up of circular markings. Can anyone decipher what the markings say? lol

I don't have any suggestions...but it is strange how it is in concentric circles.
