whats eating or picking off my chrysanthemum buds?

[kazooter]

Hello all
I'm new to the forum so here goes.
My chrysanthemums look like rust and yellow daisies. I also have yellow button mums in between them.This problem does not affect my yellow mums.
Something is either picking or eating the buds from under the blooms to about three inches down the stalk. The buds from that point down to the ground are intact. Please help!!!!!
Thanks

Kazooter;
Just sppoke with a gentelman that raises mums and he said this has been a bad year for grasshoppers. This sounds like your problem accorden to him. I am not 100% sure but you might waht to see if they do better now the cooler weather is setting in. Let me know if this helps.
Peace
Sorry about the SP errors
