| | | What is attacking these plants?
Does anyone know what it is that is causing this odd growth on plants?
Have only noticed it in the Huntingdon area of Cambridgeshire. One image taken at Paxton Pits the other at Hinchinbrooke Country Park.

Come on Tree experts help needed please. | These are both herbs. I think they possibly are both Oilseed Rape, the first one definitely is. Seem to remember also seeing it on a white flower at Hinchinbrooke last year.

It might possibly some kind of aphid infestation - but if not, I guess it is one for the mycologists. Next time I see one, I'll ask!

henrya | Yes, some kind of mildew would be my guess.
