Yikes, my mom bought me large, beautiful dahlias that I we put in the ground just 11 days ago. Something is eating away at the leaves.

It starts out with one leaf being destroyed - all the green in gone but veins remain. One leaf and then the next, are destroyed and then the flower dies.

I took it to local garden center and they don't know - suggest a fungus.

No other plants in the garden are being effected -- all are healthy and doing well.

Thanks for any suggestions.
