Does anybody have pics of HVX on Diamond Tiara or A.M. Ventricosa?

Hi there,

I'm not sure what "A.M." Ventricosa is (Aureomarginata?), but here are pictures of Diamond Tiara and ventricosa for you.

Diamond Tiara will get a dull finish on it, along with some light mottling, and will be a little smaller than normal at the same age as a healthy plant. ventricosa, its hybrids, and relatives display sunken and distorted tissue the follows lengthwise along the veins.

The tiaras can catch the virus very easily and will show symptoms quickly, usually within weeks/months. Ventricosa and its relatives (ventricosa, lakeside black satin, lakeside coalminer, etc.) also seem to catch the virus very easily due to the large number of reports of virus found in them in people's gardens.

I hope that helps!
