    I'm pretty sure this Durban has canna virus now it's leafed out. Can anyone confirm and advise?
    It's been in the same room as my seedlings, will they have caught it?:frown: image.jpg image.jpg

      It's difficult to tell from a photo, ,your first photo looks OK but the second could well be the virus. I'd be inclined to quarantine your suspects for the time being. Hart canna have a good description of what to look for, sometimes it's not obvious:
