I painted Phytophthora ramorum symptoms on rhododendron for the November illustration of the BSPP plant pathogens calendar.

The painting shows a rhododendron stem with three dead terminal buds, one rosette of leaves and a pair of leaves. The leaves all have lesions along the mid vein where the leaf meets the stem, and one leaf shows blackening at the tip.
