Some of you may remember that I was stuck between 2 mentors (feeling like a fool) over whether a plant I'd brough in for judging had virus or not. Sure enough it didn't. It was clean. I sent 25 plants in for testing of those only 4 had OSRV. (Odont ring spot virus.) They've been sent to the trash can. I'll post the pics on apbo (or whatever those initials are.)

Well then, the news is good and bad. Great that the original suspect is clean. After your last thread about this, I'm sure you're not totally surprised that a few culprits turned up. Are you going to test any more? I'll be interested to see the photos.

KB,
The spite in me would want to take it in and rub Mr. Know-it-all's nose in it. I think you should send him the bill.
Good Growing, Gene
Yes the one's that I thought looked like thrip damage I'm sending in for testing. The ones with odd blotches and veining I'm holding off. Of the
25 I sent in most had odd blotches or veins. Only 2 of those came back with virus. All the "thrip damage" spotted ones came back with virus. Which pisses me off because one of my favs has 'Thrip damage'. Over time I'm going to get the whole collection checked. It'll take a while, but hey. Its the olny way to be sure.K Barrett
Yeah, but on the other hand if he hadn't spoken up I'd still be lying to myself about the spots in my collection.
