Thank you Strever, I have read the article before but I am still at a loss if mine does have the striking virus as there doesn't appear to have any of the symptoms.

then per the article
if your flowers all look pretty much the same ?
and the plant doesn't change that much year to year ?
you probably do not have the virus
and your stripes are a different color Smiling
