Hi:
This topic dovetails quite nicely with a current concern of mine, Ornithogalum mosaic virus and Lachenalia.
I was wondering how common this virus is, and if it infects other Ornithogalum besides Ornithogalum thyrsoides?
Where else does it occur besides South Africa and California? I believe Mary Sue lost a Lachenalia aloides selection and John Bryan mentioned it as a liability regarding the selection of bulbs for a public planting in South California. Veld and Flora recently noted the difficulty of maintaing clean Lachenalia breeding stocks in SA.
