Thank you, Debbie! I agree, the flowers are pretty, mottling and all. I'm gonna feel pretty silly if those spots are supposed to be there. Now I'm also questioning if I've confused the 'Miyazaki' with the 'Blue Wonder'. At any rate, neither had black spots on them when I planted them last fall.

I checked the underside of the leaves but for the most part, the spots mostly appear on the top side. A couple of the more mature leaves at the base had some spottiness on the underside but not as distinct, as if the spots were spreading and fading out.

Look forward to your response!
