Jim - I don't think this is virus. I have had the benefit of visiting Bob Griesbach's fields in bloom and I saw this type of coloring in his OT's. Granted the genes are completely different in this group of lilies but the color pattern of stripling is very similar. He would plant seedlings in groups and in a seedling group you would see a range of this from a very "mottled" pattern to a almost perfect solid coloring. It would be easy to argue I am comparing apples to oranges, but the color pattern shown here looks similar to what I observed in his OT's.
