Hi Steve,

I'm afraid it does look like the beginning symptoms of HVX :(

It is the spotting that is unusual, and it has some color coming down the veins too.

Sorry,

Chris

Well, thanks Chris. I think i will have to learn more about hvx and how to identify it so I don't buy any more infected plants. Had I known what to look for, I could have saved myself a couple bucks. At least this was a young plant and not so hard to part with.
