Donner--That dark Taro is spectacular!

My Dr Seuss brug is growing really well--but there are NO blooms,
even though it has "Y"-ed more than once. Wonder what's up?

The Maya bloomed very nicely--it just has, once again, some kind of
leaf problems. They turn cruddy and yellow and I have to pull them off.
It looks like some kind of insect damage--but there is none to be seen at all.
But--it HAS TO be something--as the backs of the leaves are full of little spots.

I have sprayed with Insecticidal Soap and even with "Forbid"---but it keeps
on happening. The new leaves look OK--then, when they get bigger--they turn all yukky.
I think I had this same problem las year--but not to this extent.

The Dr. Seuss Brug sots just feet away from the Maya--and has absolutely NO issues.
just that it is NOT blooming.

5--Maya leaf--underside

Any wise opinions appreciated. Thanks, Gita
