Powdery Mildew- light grayish white splotches that resemble powder. Found in flower bed on peonies. Kingdom: Fungi Class: Leotiomycetes Family: Erysiphaceae Genus: Blumeria
Loves high humidity, hence why its in my flower garden. Another reason why the peony was attacked by this fungi is that this particular plant is being taken over by a morning glory. The fungi appears in areas with poor air circulation. http://gardening.about.com/od/gardenprob... http://www.apsnet.org/edcenter/intropp/L...
