Happens every year - today I lost my first (and hopefully last) plant to TSW - and as usual it is something pretty special - Yellow Ponderosa, from seed saved in 1995 - I got the seed from the USDA. Fortunately I managed to get several up and growing so it is already replaced. It was planted on May 4, and had open blossoms. Looked fine as recently as 2 days ago. Amazing how fast the disease shows up once the plant gets infected.

Weird - plants next to it and across from it are fine. 200 tomato plants. And...boom!....there it was with the characteristic foliage markings.
