I have this little dahlia that all the bugs ever created seem to like. It was a trooper and took it all in stride and still bloomed. Now what ever bug(s) have started on the bloom. I have attacked this one plant with sprays, baits,cursing...nothing has helped this poor thing. I have searched under every leaf , in the ground,surrounding soil, can't find the cause of this. I have many dahlias in the same area with no infestation at all. I plan to dig this one up today and pot it and put it in isolation until I figure out what the heck is going on. I feel real sorry for this little guy! Ridoodles, I feel your pain! Maybe certain dahlia taste better than other to bugs.
