- Small brown spots appear on the expanding flower
petals, The veins, which usually are darker than the surrounding
tissues, often give the blooms a distinctive netted appearance.
This netted pattern can be used to distinguish petal blight from
cold injury. These spots quickly increase in size until the entire
blooms turns a dull brown. The blighted petals are dry or somewhat
leathery but do not cruble when handled. Once the blooms are
killed, they will fall intact to the ground.
