Title: Podophyllum problem
Post by: johnw on May 08, 2019, 03:53:08 PM: We have a few of our hybrids showing this strange pattern. Do you suppose it's a defiency, a virus or a potential breakthrough we should be watching? Ken was going to bin it, he tossed the others.

It couldn't be frost damage, could it?
Just clutching at straws for you,so that you don't need to bin them....

All the others are so cute! Hope to have an 'army' of my own soon. All planted in the ground last summer are up and few will even flower :)
Thank you!

Certainly pathological.
Best to be safe.
