In my experience once the skin (cuticle) is broken like this rot can take over. So while the plant may be fine those leaves will continue to look worse and worse. Here's hoping for good summer and lots of new growth to cover these leaves up.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-46855733628520575752019-04-17T07:36:56.510-07:002019-04-17T07:36:56.510-07:00Yikes!

They seemed to choose specific favorites & were capable of amazing damage. I think they liked the plant's watery pulp inside, because they had a traditional water source nearby.

And what a pairing with the Himalayan maidenhair fern. Just starting to see things here but not too much to photograph. My Hepaticas are fabulous but they don't photograph well in sun and they close when it gets shady. You have me all excited for action in my garden.
