    I still haven't parted with them yet but I will do:blue thumb: they're in the conservatory out of harms way..I'm sure the mottling on pic 2 shouldn't be there either:doh:

    @Lolimac - As you can see lots of us have been caught out by the Canna virus. I was almost caught out by a Toad Lily virus when I bought this cultivar called Raspberry Mousse...................

    The spots have mutated into solid blotches. I destroyed it and was fortunate enough to get away with it. More info here for those who are interested.

        Before you dump them lolli, just have a very close look mostly on the leaf undersides, it might just be RSM, but its a long shot.

          I'm sat scrutinising them and the more I look the worse they appear.I thought the undersides of the leaves looked in good shape but now noticing that they're 'puckering' round the edges...It's definitely curtains for my Cannas:frown:....

              Loli, are you coming to Shiney's Open Day? If so I'll bring the canna I'm growing from seed (out of the GC parcel) - they should be a reasonable size by then.

                  We'll need a thread, nearer the time, of what spares we have that we can bring & share :)

                            Looks like your global canna domination is well under way joolz :)

                            Loving the little variegated seedling, I had one that came up almost white once but the leaves scorched so easily and it eventually withered away, sadly :(
