| Hi All,
I noticed this strange flowing on my cone flower. It's just a generic run of the mill type, no special name or anything. Any idea what it is?
Thanks,

| It is diseased - Aster Yellows. Destroy it. Get rid of it. In the link below, you'll see a photo of a flower almost identical to yours. |

| ditto... but i have to say.. quite the fine example of an infected plant! |
|
| You are correct. It is infected in an almost spectacular way. Quite stunning in a weird, perverse way. Kevin |

| I've been catching up with the TV series 'The Walking Dead' - you know zombies, the undead and all that good stuff. I'm rather obsessed with this series. When I saw this plant, I thought of those guys immediately. Something tells me zombies would love that plant. Do zombies grow flowers? Kevin |
|
| Kevin, zombies only grow Amorphophallus, Rafflesia, Stapelia or Nemexia plants. :-) |
|
| I didn't think of those. Good point. I grow a whole lot of Typhonium. They stink like rotting flesh, so I bet they would like those too. K |

| This is exactly what I have posted w/ album (I forgot to chk privacy box) just this AM. So it is a form of virus ~ geez what's going on w/ plants. I too thought as aachenelf ~ but called it forest on top of DD in green ~ *expectacular* indeed! I'm not terribly upset but miss my P-Cone Faeries this year! I can believe about plant hoppers carrying the virus we are going thru another year of Jap Beetle-plague!!! Thanks for the Aster Yellows link, aachenelf!!! |

| Guess what ~ this aster yellow infected DD P-Cone blooms do look stunning in a strange way ~ I couldn't help but saved a few for the vase indoors since I no longer in-door garden (only have a few orchids) I don't have to fear spreading (fingers XX'd). |
