Thanks for your input, all of you. Pard it will be interesting for me to see yours. But in your climate, it may also be hard to tell because it could look so different than it has ever looked here.
As for Pink Panther, one of mine looked just like that two years ago. Pulled it and trashed it. I have one remaining now, and that one looked fine last year. It was neighbors to the virused one. We'll see what comes of it this year.
The experience I have had with virus over the last few years has been somewhat interesting and I remember having a conversation once with pard about it. I wondered if there was any data on tetraploids succumbing to virus any more often than other ploids. It seemed for a while I was pulling tetras like Griesbach Tetra Pink Trumpet and Pink Panther ad that the diploids and triploids had less incidence. At first I thought, is it a particular area that they were in, no it really was spread out in different places. Does the number of chromosomes possibly increase the viral receptors or something? Call me crazy, but it seems like there is something to it.
