Hallo together,

I do have a picture of Halcyon of a friend of mine. What do you guys think? Thanks in advance.

The plant is 5 years in the garden, never divided so far. Just one eye coming up like this, all the rest of the clump looks great.

Hi Planwerk,

It looks weird, but it looks too evenly confined to the center of the leaf to be HVX to me. If it was more random then I would be concerned.

Weird sort of sporting... all those stripes are Weird, but do not look like HVX to me :wink:
