Striptease

[sweetee]

Hi, got my hvx cd today and trying to understand what it looks like on different plants. My striptease looks great, but on one of the eyes, I have a few leaves, which look like this. Is this hvx? Thanks.

Yes, that is HVX. Some people might suspect frost, though, since the symptoms are confined towards the ends of the leaves, but when you see it on new and old leaves it looks just like virus. There are only a couple spots with the inkbleed you usually see, but instead you see collapsing tissue in both the yellow and green parts which means it has been infected for quite a while.

Man, what a bummer! This is the third year I've had it. Get ready, because I'll be posting more pics of other plants, maybe it can help someone else.
