In the last 2 years I have noticed that several of the plants and flowers in the backyard have unusual deformities – extra petals, misplaced petals, extra or missing petal fragments.
Yet I never saw this when some of these same plants were planted in the front ?
Dr. Google has plenty of photos of insect and virus damage – which does not look similar at all.
What could be causing this ?
