Is this something to worry about?

I noticed these on my sunflowers after taking them outside to harden for a few hours yesterday. Are they something to worry about? If so, can you identify them and what is a good solution? I picked it off and took a picture of the underside as well. My husband said "maybe its just dirt?" LOL
Thanks - :?

Your pictures are very small and don't magnify very much. The second one is pretty dark and low contrast. So it's really difficult to say much about what it is. Maybe now that I bumped this, someone will have a guess.

Thanks for bumping the pics. I'm still trying to figure out how to get this done correctly. :oops:

Maybe my hubby was right - nothing to worry about.

Thanks! :)
