Nature's Polka Dot Party - Hollyhock Rust Unleashes a Fungal Fiesta on Leafy Dance Floor!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this vibrant snapshot captured by FLPA photographer Nigel Cattlin, we witness the secret soirée of hollyhock rust, Puccinia malvacearum. As if donning their finest polka dot attire, these early pustules emerge on the lower surface of a hollyhock leaf like mischievous party guests. The infectious dance begins as tiny spots start spotting across the abaxial and adaxial surfaces of the leaves. With each passing moment, these playful pustules grow into mesmerizing patterns resembling abstract artwork. It's as if Mother Nature herself has decided to paint her masterpiece using fungal pigments! But amidst all this whimsical beauty lies a tale of destruction. The relentless pathogen takes its toll on our beloved althea plants in Berkshire, England. These delicate ornamental garden residents fall victim to the ravages of disease. Yet even in their damaged state, there is an undeniable charm to be found within these spotted survivors. They remind us that life can still flourish despite adversity – just like those who find joy in dancing through rainstorms or singing during thunderous nights. So let us celebrate this enchanting image and marvel at nature's ability to create both wonder and havoc simultaneously! After all, even fungi deserve their own spotlights at times!
