Lots of vintage cattleya cultivars are virus infected. (CMV, ORV, etc.) Can anyone give me an informed guess on the percentage of old catts that are Typhoid Marys. Thanks! Steve H

Reason: Correct error
I have no idea, but I test every division or clone that comes in. The most reputable sellers will test before selling, or offer a refund/replacement for a virused plant. I count myself lucky to have some vintage, virus free plants.

Oh wow, I assumed all the vintage divisions were virused!
