Now, what kind of chlorosis am I seeing mildly in my Lilies this year? A friend of mine has at to a by far more concerning degree on many of her orienpets. It has only recently appeared on young leaves. Nitrogen? Iron? Sulfur? A micronutrient deficiency resulting from mis-watering?

I agree with you, Moby, the virused tulips of the tulipomania are dramatic- and I have not noticed a health decline in some that I know to have it. As an important note on viruses, bees are vectors by carrying tainted pollen. where ever a pollenator may fly, a virus can be spread.

Thanks, K. James
