Mouldy leaves on my Honeysuckle

I have just found this mould growing on my Honeysuckle, this plant has gone through a bit of stress, I purchased it a couple of months back, transplanted it into a larger container, then 3 weeks ago transplanted it in a larger container again with a Wisteria to grow up over a large metal frame I have made for them. Apart from this mould, both plants are growing well and seem healthy, the soils is as specified from the garden centre and sterile when planted. Here is a pic of the mould http://i19.tinypic.com/4l8yjoh.jpg[/IMG]

Hi RATTER,
It looks like 'grey mould' (Botrytis) it's best to remove and destroy affected leaves as soon as you see them.
Common causes are wet conditions or over-watering or poor drainage.

The current wet weather is probably the cause.
Good luck. Tbird+
