The message
from stuart noble contains these words:

Interesting. I can't see why a slug would eat through the stalk but not
touch the rest of the plant.
I'll have a browse for pansy diseases but the plants are in perfect
condition. They just aren't attached to their roots, that's all :-)

They seem to like stalks, and the flahs are out of reach.

Slugs may not have the intelligence to realise that by noshing the stalk
they bring the juicy flower into range.
