This is a picture of my sister's Daphne. The local garden shop said that it's powdery mildew. I'm no expert, but only powdery mildew I've seen is white and also more 'fluffy' than the spots on these leaves. I've never seen these pinkish/brownish spots and we are curious to hear your expert opinion what is happening to her beautiful Daphne. She has already lost one large Daphne to this disease. I also included more of a close up of the Daphne and also her Croton, which the disease also killed.                       Thank you!                                                Sincerely, Sirpa Waananen
