Gosh Diane you are making some finds, quick leave the computer and see what else is out there

[David Nicholson]

My Hippolyta is in full flower. ?your Augustus doesnt look quite right. The inner mark is too big

yes i agree with john, virus tends to distort the inner mark between individuals.
and as we known augustus is heavily infected.

....... So I should chuck mine out then??

[mark smyth]

I have Augustus in my garden

[Anthony Darby]

Me too.

[loes]

today I can`t deny it anymore  ,my Augustus are also virused and I will get rid of them.
anyone want to swap healthy Augustus for Hippolyta or Washfield Warham?

[steve owen]

I understand there are viruses and viruses. My Augustus look very healthy, are bulking and flowering well, and I have no plans to dig them up whether people say they are virused or not.

[Anthony Darby]

Me too.

[loes]

Mark and Anthony,

you both have virused Augustus in the garden?

[Anthony Darby]

Doesn't everyone?

[Martin Baxendale]

Mark and Anthony,

you both have virused Augustus in the garden?

Sssh! You're all going to get Maggi started again!

[Anthony Darby]

Ooer.

[David Nicholson]

Thanks folks. Having just bought it and it showing no signs of virus that can recognise (indeed the only problem seems to be Mark's view that the mark is wrong) I shall stick it in the garden and see how I go.

[mark smyth]

At least two people are bulking virus free Augustus

Maybe barking in the wind, but isn't the texture of the petals of 'Augustus' and 'Diggory' due to virus? Remove the virus and you remove the crinkles.
