Garden Pests and Diseases: Does this look like a fungus problem?, 1 by lincolnitess

This is the third year I have had problems growing annuals in the same location. The first year it was annual vinca and I blamed it on putting them out too early. The second year, I put the vinca out later and they did wonderful until about the first or second week in June when they all started to die, so I blamed it on using Preen. This year I decided to forget the vinca and put in snapdragons and salvia. The salvia seems OK. The snapdragons were in full bloom up to about a week ago and then they started to dry up and die almost over night. Here is a photo. The one in the center is dead and the one on the right about half dead. Any ideas of the problem or what I can do to treat the soil and prevent it? Someone on another thread mentioned that vinca were prone to getting a type of fungus. Wonder if the same fungus gets snapdragons? The only other problem I seem to have is leaf streak on some of my daylilies. Wonder if these two problems are related?
