So far, all of the seedlings I've grown that have bloomed have been perfectly ordinary.

My friends and I went to the original acreage this week to see if there might be
interesting ones coming up near the places where the yellows were dug.  No.

However the ones with bright yellow blotches on the leaves have them again.  I posted
a picture of them on Reply #50.

Here is a picture of a virus-infected woronowii taken immediately before I dug it up and disposed of it.  Of course I only presume that this is a virus but I know it did not look like that in previous years and I don't want to take the risk of it spreading.  It seems to me the the yellow marks on those elwesii leaves are quite likely to be caused by a virus so do be careful in case it is easily transmitted.
