A surprise!
In article ,
says...
Just now I pulled up a 4" petty spurge (a frequent and several-times-daily
activity although I usually get them when they're smaller).
I noticed that on the underside of all the leaves were orange/brown slightly
raised and crowded together spots.
Any idea?
Is it transferable to other plants? I grow vegetables although the only
plants growing close to this were Easter Ledger - bistort. We don't eat
their leaves at this time of year.
Not very good pic at:

It is Rust, but not to worry most rusts are plant specific and even those
that are not there is damn all you can do about them!
