I checked the above scales for moisture and pulled about a dozen out to investigate for spots a little further. My plan was to get some good shots of scales pulled from the outside, middle and center of the bulb. But it wasn't easy or hardly possible at this point. All scales but 4 had bublets forming and pointing toward the concave side so turning them over to show the convex or face side would have meant resting the tips of these newly formed bublets on paper. But I did find 4 that I could use for pics. Not good pics and it didn't tell me what I wanted to see--I don't think. I couldn't see any spots, only some tiny little bumps but I beleive they were already present at the time I scaled. Many, many bublets forming on the scales I pulled.
