Blue Cadet/Striptease pics

Post by njdavid »

Hi,

sorry, these are a litte soft, but you get the point.

I have four of these Cadets and one of the Striptease. Fortunately, they went straight in and have sat undisturbed though I may have tromped over everything this spring.

I think the Cadets are infected, but not sure if the Striptease is supposed to come in like this.

Thanks.

Hi,

The Blue Cadet is definitely infected with HVX.

The Striptease is showing some streaking, but that is not a symptom of the virus. This is just a mutation of the plant and although it isn't a "normal" striptease that is also not from infection.

Keep an eye on it though, but pitch the cadets.

Good luck!

Thanks, Chris.

I'll pitch the Cadets and keep my fingers crossed for the Striptease.

Picked up some beautiful Gold Standards this weekend that look fine, but now think I may return them.

Live and learn.
