Thanks for the info Brian and Arthur. I'm happy to get this plant as it's one of the few
"just white plants" that can be distinguished from other "just white plants" without
difficulties  ;D

No offence meant, Brian  ;D I coudn't resist to post this!
You can be sure: I also love these "just white plants"

Thanks for your offer Mark, but you will have noticed, that I already have an
offer for this beauty. My friend assures his plants don't show any signs of infection!

Rob, a very experienced friend told me, that the symptoms of a virus infection can be similar to
stress symptoms that plants show after replanting, perhaps that was what you observed!?

so,now I am worried too.  ???
as many others I also have Augustus,it`s one most suppliers sell and not too expencive.
this year when it emerges and grows I will have an extra look at it.hope mine is oke but if it isn`t I will destroy it.
and now my question:is it known which of the nurseries selling galanthus has virus-free Augustus(or other sometimes infected drops)?
