I just found this plant in the 'cold' room temp. about 55 degrees, three hours of sun a day. I didn't even realise this one was still with me. I thought it never rooted. Anyway it's a double someone from Washington state sent me in the fall. The pattern you see is only on the front of the leaves, no spots- damage or anything on the back. Plant was growing fine and even had a little bud on it.

Not one other plant in this room had any sign of this pattern on the leaves. Regardless, I tossed EVERYTHING in there. It looks to much like a mosaic virus (from photos I looked up tonight) I scrubbed everything in there down with a solution that kills the parvo virus in dogs. VERY strong stuff.

I've checked other plants in the house and haven't found this anywhere else.

Is it as bad as it looks? I've emailed the person who sent the cuttings- waiting for a reply.

I'm SO upset about this.
