Question
QUESTION: Steve
(Our thread was too long, so AllX made me start a new one.)
Thanks for your continued interest in my problem. I have had poor experience trying to e photos - probably because I'm too thrrrrifty (Scotch-Irish) to use anything but the free marginal software provided with the camera. I will try. Is there a way to send an enclosure to you via the AllXperts system?

ANSWER: Dave:
Sorry, the photo did not make it. I'm not too great at this stuff either. There may be some instructions with your camera/software to download an image to your computer first.

QUESTION: Steve
(system said you were unavailable yesterday when I first tried to send this)Sorry for the confusion. When I said I would "try" I meant taking the picture tomorrow, when, hopefully, there will be some sun, and then again trying to e it to myself to see if I can make that much of the system work.
You still did not address the problem of how I am to make an enclosure of the file using the AllX system to get the file to you.

ANSWER: Dave:
I am not familiar with this system by which attachments are done. Lets' try this. Use my personal email address below and maybe it will work. You can attach more than one photo. Use subject line "Daylily".  [email protected]

Discolored Leaves   QUESTION: Steve
Thanks for entrusting me with your eddress. It turns out that just as I was hitting "send" last time to you, I caught sight of a "button" for enclosures that I had missed before. Let me try that first.
I tried getting some photos and e-ing one to myself and - it worked! I'll send you two. One has an iris, a daylilly, and a tomato leaf showing the discoloration. The other has a tomato leaf I found later showing the development of the spot in the interior which often occurs with the tomatoes. With the iris and daylilly it ALWAYS starts at the tip.
Lemme know if the photos come through OK.

PS Turns out I can only send ONE photo, so I'll send the multiple one.

Answer
Dave:
I saw your image of the three leaves. This symptom of leaf tip browning, especially if it is seen on many leaves of the individual plant is usually an indication of an unfavorable root environment. This could mean many things. Often it may be something like a soil moisture imbalance (too much or not enough).  Take a look at the roots for good color (white or cream colored) and see if the soil is staying a bit on the wet or dry side.  It should be just moist to the touch. Just enough that soil particles stick to your fingers. I cannot tell too much from the curled tomato leaf. We do see a common leaf spot disease called Early Blight.  Take a look at some example images in "Google Images" on your computer.

Hope this helps
