I have wild daisy's that grow in my yard - the plants don't make leaves - they make the center of the flower, but devoid of leaves. Is this a disease? Should I remove them? Is it dangerous? Is it going to spread to other plants?

Hi Mary,
Could you send us a photo?

Hi Mary,
Without a photo it is difficult to say. It may have to do with our dry conditions and early high temperatures. Nature is a bit confused this spring! If you see any further changes, please let us know.

Thank you so much for getting back to me!
I did send pictures twice
But it must not work
Some more recent daisies look more normal

Hi Mary,
I can see the photos now! Thanks. The stems and leaves look good. I'd watch the plants and see if they begin to recover. Our spring has been a bit challenging and things need rain! Let us know if you have more concerns.
