Bacterial? Fungal? Sunburn?

[VickiC]

Hi Ray,
The parchment-like patches did appear on the leaves shortly after my sunburn incident, but since the yellowed leaves became apparent only lately, I'm puzzled. More than a bit worried, in fact.

I'm sure you've read Anisa's advice. Since I have no idea what I'm dealing with, I'm gonna try different angles to be on the safe side. I wish I had thought to order Phyton or something similar when I ordered from you earlier this week....but "timing is often not on my side". Actually, I'm usually the problem....I often act before I think of potentials rather than think before I act. This most often doesn't work out for the best.

As for a virus, Ray that's a dirty word. I've had to send a sample from another plant to Critter Creek in the past and I feel that I should do the same with this one since you mention that possibility.
Thanks for your reply and advice,
Vicki

I would think that if this was a bacterial infection, substantial rotting would be present, which does not seem to be the case.

That makes me think that the plants could be carrying a virus, but not being all that knowledgeable about them, I cannot say for sure.
