Wow! You are having trouble!

I would say not Botritys (sp?). Maybe a fungus in your soil? Or a combination of being dry and fungus? I think dry because of the edges on the second one and the washed out centers on Tatoo. Are these all planted in the same area?

I'm just guessing, so wait till someone who knows something replies....

Good luck!
