I would say yes it is, but what do I know? I've been wrong on things like this too many times to count. :roll: But I do know that Striptease is one that does show up a lot with HVX, so let's wait til some of the others take a look at your pics. Yoo hoo....Chris....where are you? :???:

In the many Striptease that I have seen with the virus, the green bleeding very definitely stays along the veins and starts at the tips of the leaves. I hope it is not HVX.

Like Joan said, hope Chris comes to the rescue...

Hi Nathalie,

I've also seen a combination of spotting WITH dark coloring along the veins, but if it is just these spots I think it is too soon to tell for sure. The spots are a bit too perfectly shaped for me to say that it is HVX. I would say maybe, leaning towards probably not, but I would continue to watch it just to be safe.

Hopefully it doesn't develop into anything bad :)
