Baby Bunting

Post by addieotto »

Ugh! I mail ordered a Baby Bunting and within three weeks it has burst out with what appears to be a hardcore case of HVX. I hadn't even planted it yet. Although I'm already pretty much certain it's infected, I thought I would post a photo anyway.

Sad.

Sigh.

I agree, this one does look like HVX.

Here is another picture of Baby Bunting with HVX from a batch we brought in from Holland in 2005. The same seller discontinued it starting in 2006, so I'm sure they had a lot of them that were infected. Baby Bunting might also be easy to infect.

Sorry to see it :(
