Donna -

Most of the information I got from the American Brugmansia and Datura 
Society site on the page dealing with Brugmansias and Viruses. The link to 
the page is below:

http://home.att.net/~perennials/abadsvirus.html

To quote from the site, here are the two worst virii that infect them (and 
presumably Iris as well from what I understood.)

Tobacco mosaic stunts the plants growth, causes blotches of mixed greens 
and yellows combined with normal leaf color, deforms fruit (seedpods) and 
flowers. Tobacco mosaic greatly reduces the looks of the plant but rarely 
kills it. As with all plant viruses, once the plant is infected with 
Tobacco mosaic, it is infected for life. Tobacco mosaic is one of the most 
common plant viruses found throughout the world.

Common plant host for Tobacco Mosaic
African Violet, Tomato, Pepper, Petunia, Snapdragon, Delphinium, Marigold, 
Cucumber, Squash, Spinach, Celosia, Impatiens, Phlox, Zinnia, Aster, 
Banana, Chrysanthemum, Geranium, Gladiola,Grapes, Kalanchoe, Roses, Potato, 
Datura and many more. Not good companion plants for Brugmansia!

Tomato Spotted Wilt stunts the plants growth, causes necrotic streaking of 
stems and petioles, stem wilt, deformed leaves, streaks, blotches, and vein 
yellowing. Sometimes plants never show symptoms other than turning yellow 
and then they die. Tomato Spotted Wilt is another of the most common plant 
viruses found throughout the world.


Common plant host for Tomato Spotted Wilt
Sweetpea, Cucumber, Melon, Pepper, Tomato, Chrysanthemum, Cyclamen, 
Gypsophila, Lily, Lisianthus, Stocks, Anemone, Aster, Datura, Begonia, 
Foxglove, Nasturtium, Poppy, Sunflower, Viola and many more.
Weeds: Bindweed, Buttercup, Chickweed, Clover, Dandelion, Groundsel, 
Stinging Nettle and more.
Not good companion plants for Brugmansia!

Hope this is useful to you!
