virus or weather?

[Catwheazle]

What goes wrong with two of my C. ligusticus? The other plants seem ok. What should i do?

[Steve Garvie]

Essentially all commercial stock (with the exception of Janis Ruksans’) has virus to varying degrees.
It’s a bonny plant without the virus!

[Catwheazle]

OK thanks 

Someone told me the plants are speciosus, but i never bought speciosus :-(

I have to say they do look like speciosus. Not what you ordered ........but then again, you didn’t order the virus either.

I have now destroyed the plants

I'm doing same with similar plants, although I'm not sure that it is virus, but in any case it is not normal - may be damage of bulb mite, may be other development problems. This autumn destroyed 11 such plants.

Thanks :-)

Wondering if the double petal (left under)of this crocus laevigatus fontenayi is because of a virus. Or is it just a little mistake or frost damage?

Today this seedling popped up in my garden. The pattern looks very regular, nevertheless I´m uncertain whether it´s virus-effect or not?

Looks as virus, better to destroy!

Thank You, Janis! It´s the first time I notice anything like that in my borders. There are a lot of Crocus tommasinianus ´Eric Smith´seeding around, and I imagined it might have been just a very strongly marked form.

Better destroy 10 healthy than to leave 1 virus-infected...

Thank You for Your advice, Janis! I don´t grow a precious collection of species or varieties, but over the last 30 years I had many nice seedlings appreciated by visitors. It would be a pity to to loose them to virus, indeed.
