Apologies I was late in getting to this. Anyone who grows Tulipa, especially examples of plants exhibiting the colour breaks should on no account attempt to grow Lilium anywhere near them as this is a entirely caused by a virus which can and is transferred by Aphids of various genera / species and you will quickly lose the Lilies. Its either one or tother, but not both for long anyway. Iain -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter. We are a community of 5.9 million users fighting spam.
