All the leaves turn thin and ashen-colored, and a few blooms get gnarly (apparently one should dispose of the whole plant when you notice such blooms, but I don't).

Both of them have lots of blooms that have no petals so far, and the petals they do have look on the ragged side. I was thinking last summer I had read about some kind of disease they could have, but can't find it now.

I'd feel so guilty I'd have to plant them somewhere. I can't kill a plant purposely. Well, yes I can.
