The fertilizer thing sounds the most likely although I don't remember fertilizing just as these leaves were emerging. This is current and in southern California. I was just afraid that I had something else going on. Thank you very much.

: Tom, I wrote you about this plant
: when
: it only spruted two fronds. When the
: first two were just hardening out it
: sprouted five more. Spots have
: started to develop on some of the
: leaflets of the first two, just as
: the last five are maturing. These
: spots vary in size from about one to
: three milimeters, the green matter
: is gone and only the translucent
: material remains. I suspected bugs

: revealed any. I have not seen
: anything like this on my revolutas
: and fertilizer has not helped. I
: hope you have some ideas as I would
: hate to see this get any worse.
: Thanks.

: I am assuming this happened recently

: Normally those spots would be some
