strain of contaminant. >>
Linda,
How strange! My DOVER BEACH from Wally World is tainted with something
similar to the MARY FRANCIS virus! The one I got bloomed three blooms on the
top 10% of the stalk and had very healthy foliage!
My GLAZED ORANGE is infected with something similar to a JOYCE TERRY virus.
It has perfect branching and is old gold with a large center spot of white on
the falls.
My LACY SNOWFLAKE has a red beard, and droopy falls. Maybe has the STARTLER
virus?
Only EDITH WOLFORD seems unaffected with a virus. Who knew it grew well
enough in some areas for the rhizome to make it into this market?
Betty from BG KY . . . definately making room for replacements.
