| | | Re: Bright something on underside of nettle It's a rust, whose name I forget. We've had them before so try nettle rust in the Gallery ... It will come to me as soon as I send this. 
PS: told you so, it's a Puccinia but there has been debate about which species in the past: ID for Nettle Rust / Mold required please
