Maybe the flower just naturally change? Like marigold seeds change bloom colors each time you plant them

It looks like damage, did you check over for pests?

i think i have fungus gnats! there’s a couple little fruit fly looking things flying around my plants, what should i do?

#### Wolfen 🐺 antwortete am 2025-01-02

For fruit flies you can use a BTI to water with (soak mosquito dunks or bits in water over night, then water the plants with that) a peroxide dilution is another alternative to water with. And you can get sticky traps for the adults, just yellow ones or electric Zevo
