Re: CULT: IRIS VIRUS
From: "Patrick Orr" <PatrickJOrr@hotmail.com>
John and Talkers,
If you can use the cultivar as the pollen parent and produce seedlings with
the same markings then I guess you would have a genetic situation. I don't
have an answer to your second questions John...sorry.
While we are on the subject, I thought I'd post a few questions...
Does a virus effect performance, blooming, or propagation?
Is an iris with a virus really a bad thing?
What is the scientific name for this virus?
Who is the person that proved a virus is the cause of these markings?
Is this virus contageous to other irises around it or to humans?
I haven't read anything in the current or past AIS bulletins that I have
managed to get my hands on that discusses this. Has anyone seen or read
about it in the AIS bulletins that I have missed? If nothing prior has been
written on it, I think it would make for an EXCELLENT article.
