These are on the AM side of my house--so they get good AM sun-at least
the top parts of them do.

I took some pictures just now to show the already developing crud.
I also had an idea that the problem could be lack of air-circulation.
They are always in a place where there are piles of other plants around them.

Of course--all these 'other" plants get watered on a regular basis--and then--
so do the Monkshoods. I try not to--but it is useless....
I have never been sure if this "issue" starts in the roots--or is just on
the stems and leaves??.

Here are a couple pictures just today. I am so discouraged....so tired of it...

Maybe i should dig the big pot (pic. #2) into my YUK bed somewhere--as
there will not be any wet soil around there....BUT--there is sun there....bummer....
Need to give it more shade and an open place to live....a hard place to find here...

I will put you down for one of the clumps--Jeff. Will go out and dig it up today.
Hope it does not interfere with the plant's growing and blooming...
