Comments (47)Flowers, here are some photos of Enfant de France that I just took, too... powdery mildew and all! I'm sorry to hear you lost it to a cold winter - I agree it has a unique charm. The first time I smelled it, I I thought of my grandmother, and now I always associate it with her memory. The powdery mildew seems to be worse this year, but it's been dry recently with cool evening temperatures, and I haven't been irrigating, yet. I'm sure it will clear up as the nights get warmer and the roots get regular watering from the drip irrigation. This was purchased as from Heirloom as 'Spencer', a label even the current owner still refuses to correct. I left a glowing review of the rose on their website but pointed out that it was really EdF. They never posted the review and continue to call it 'Spencer' with a description that describes 'Spencer', not EdF. I guess it's no wonder these rose name mysteries occur and persist!...See MoreFinally got some bloom!
Comments (26)I don't know for sure yet if it's CMV or TMV, etc. But the brand new leaves on the recently arrived grafts from Adenium Center look to be infected. Only two of the four have leafed out so far, the other two are just starting to do so now. I'm going to get them tested this week after I speak with my local ag office. Obviously if they test positive I'll have to destroy the plants but I may send scions to attempt micropropagation by meristem tissue culture. Which has a high rate of being virus free but isn't a guarantee and could be costly. At any rate, I am disappointed and started a thread elsewhere about it with photos of the leaves. You can't pass a USDA inspection and licensing with plants showing virus and they could destroy ALL of my stock, everything, if I don't deal with it early. I wouldn't want to pass on plants I had grafted if they are infected anyway. If they are infected and the test results throw a positive, I'll destroy the plants and contact Adenium Center about a refund (including my shipping, shame on them!) but I understand a lot of Asian growers don't care about virus. It's a serious issue however that causes more than /$30 billion dollars/ in agricultural crop damage alone every year. Virus in my plants could easily spread in my area to infect crops or natives....See More- 3 years ago
