    Just planted my Cactus Dahlias today. Eight of them look fine , but one has slightly off looking leaves - as below.
    What is this ? Insect , disease , feed deficiency ? Any ideas and solutions ?

    TIA

        Thanks for the advice . I can't see any evidence of green/blackfly . I have given it a spray with Bayer leaf spray , I'll see how it looks in another two weeks.
