Foaming at the leaf - symptoms of the Hellyan infection.
I don't know what the white stuff is, but it's on lots of weeds and some plants around the yard. I am guessing it's some sort of toxin emitted by the invading Hellyans that when touched, puts the victim into a state of passive capitulation. ...but I could be wrong. In any case, we should do exactly what they say and submit to their commands---- what the - what am I saying??!
Either that or there are spittle bugs on the leaves...but you're probably right about the hellyans, them invading and all.....seems like there is evidence everywhere! 8D
Actually my 7 year old learned at school what that white foam is. There's a bug of some sort (its white he thinks) that makes that foamy spit stuff as its home to hide from predators. Get a toothpick and move the spit stuff out of the way to see if he's right. Or its a toxin made by the hellyans and we should submit to their demands.
ewww what is that stuff? are you up to something in the garden no one should know about?
I think the way you caught the leaf edges is great! the lttle ups & downs of the leaf's waves & textures- I can almost smell it...
excellent by the way in a glass of lemonade, and makes a wonderful breath freshener too. the chocolate mint variety is totally DELISH to smell & eat!

I would feel sorry for the mint, only it's mint, which is in reality a vicious weed trying to take over the world, so if it loses to the Hellyans I say, "Go, Hellyans!!!" I wonder if they're interested in, say, bindweed, so I don't have to keep ripping it out of the ground every week. A nice quiet infection ... do thay take bribes?
