Toad Lily virus

o dear poor you ............. to do or not to do that is the ?. the flower is so pretty

That link gives extremely interesting information, Meanie, my 'Dark Beauty's' mentioned there :-(((
I think i'd take it into work, if i was you.
I'll watch mine and see if it appears :-/

The trouble is from my reading is that another cultivar has contracted the virus, come out with these markings, and then been registered as a new cultivar.

Yes, i agree.

I've been thinking - a quick search on Google shows them to be readily available. Indeed, the nursery where I bought it sold out very quickly apparently (I spoke to them about it today, they'll not be re-ordering), so the virus is now out there.
I guess that I still have to burn it though don't I!?

Unless you keep it at work, where they'll be no others nearby.

True.
The red Californian Poppies that were isolated over there came true to type this year
From the moral point of view, I should dispose of it. But as I said, there are plenty out there already, so the cat has been let out of the bag.
Plus, I do have an ideal spot for it at work..

What a shame. It's such an interesting flower. I have the ordinary one. It's nice to get something unusual. I'm sorry to hear you may have to get rid of it.

I guess some things are too good to be true!

I understand what you are saying but some tulips are grown because of virus break arnt they? Many cultivars are mutations and are acceptable.

I find it worrying that viruses are automatically designated as 'evil', perhaps they are part of the driving force of evolution.

I hear what you say SBG, but (from reading the article, see sixth paragraph) my understanding is that this virus can spread between plants. All three of my Tricyrtis are quite different, my "Taiwan Adbane" has very sparse "spots", and so I for one would not want the heavy mottling running through it.
Thanks for your response though - I always welcome the thoughts of others.

I did read the full article :o) and I wonder how the horticulturalists/scientists are going to assess this. I wonder if the RHS are looking into it. I know what you mean though, it would be a shame to lose the beautiful white forms. Certainly soething to keep an eye on as I have several darker forms.

I think that for me it's the mottled forms that I'll be a little wary of.
