Nice. Too bad it’s positive, but considering the obvious care you give your plants, it may not become active.

Thanks Ray. Very very unique & rare , but I think I'll dump it .

I dont know much about heirloom Catts but there are quite a few people who grow virused plants intentionally. If your Catt is rare and unique, might someone else be interested in having it, virus and all?

[sam1147]

I don't think there are "people who grow virus plants intentionally". Most orchardists may NOT care much, some growers do have special separate locations (Greenhouses) for heritage virused plants. Anyway I cant export my virused plants anywhere....

[Louis_W]

Got it, just a thought... lovely flower anyways

As long as it is growing fine, I'd keep it but away from other plants.

This is a very complex hybrid, but most of its parents are quite cold-tolerant. If you don't want to keep it your greenhouse, it should grow fine outside, well away from your other plants. It is really beautiful - and clear evidence that one can't identify virus by looking at a flower, no sign of color break. (That's what I do with C. Porcia 'Cannizaro' - the whole cultivar is virused,the original FCC/AOS plant was and shows no signs. Too beautiful and reliable and floriferous to dump, but don't want it close enough to the rest of the collection to run an infection risk)
