Ken, I agree with James - as its seems that the older leaves are showing this pigment disturbance and not the new leaves - the most plausible notion is that its a mineral deficiency??

The bulb and roots seemed otherwise healthy. I am spreading snail bait around my other plants as well as treating with imidacloprid. Do slugs/snails transmit virus or were they attracted to this plant perhaps because of its supressed immune level? My other healthy-looking plants do not seem to attract slugs and snails. http://flickr.com/photos/amarguy/… Ken Blackford San Diego _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.ibiblio.org http://pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/
