Looks like rust on my freesias
« on: July 01, 2011, 10:35 »
I love freesias - so this year I planted a few bulbs in pots which I have kept by the greenhouse on the allotment. All seemed to be going well until some sort of rust appeared on the leaves of the fressias. Is there anything I can do?

I'm not sure how badly it will actually affect them.

Have you got a piccie?
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Freesias tend to be pretty tough.

I can only think of a mosaic virus that affects them (sort of yellowy patches on the leaves) and a scab like thing that makes rusty coloured spots that then break open. Can't think what it is called right now. It'll come to me  ;)
