What is wrong with my dahlia foliage????

My dahlias are floweirng but the foliage looks terrible. White marks all over it. I'm afraid it might be spider mites, but could it also be water damage? We have had a ton of rain.
If I knew how to post a photo, I'd do it!

my "dwarf"? dahlia has taken ill with the same ailment. Also, buds form but do not open. What is this horrible stuff? it's ALL over the plant. Not a leaf untouched.

To post a photo you need to put it up on some other site. Many people use http://photobucket.com/, I personally use http://www.flickr.com/

Once you've got the picture up, you can then put a link to it in a message here.

As far as the marks on your foilage, it certainly does sound like spider mites. Especially if the leaves are shriveling up as well.

Cheers,
Russ
