roughly 3 years but in previous years it was very isolated to just handful of plants, now it has spread across most of the park, affecting thousands of WLBG plants. Last year I came up with a theory that this damage is possibly caused by the same leaf-miner
that seems so fond of our Deer-Tongue.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
