| Don't want to cause a panic but would suggest keeping a close eye on the above plant for Asters Yellow. I thought I had solved the problem last year by removing most of the echs. Seems that it is not true. Most of the spikes stayed milky white and then turned to green. As you can see some of the spikes are halfway through the bloom cycle. Normally the first flush is uniform. Painful as it is, I'm destroying these plants. |

| Wow! But I don't believe that Veronica is one of the plants susceptible to "AY"? I sure hope not. I have tons of of "VC" and I have many echs with "AY". I am just been holding off yanking them out...just to be sure that they wont be flowering. |

| I was under the impression that RC were not on the list as well, but looking at it, what else could it be? I have more in other beds as well and they look normal. The irony is that I have 'Sunny Border Blue' about three feet away and they look fine. As stated before, I'm just smokin. Originally the first diseased plant came from a nursery, a Pow wow Wild berry. |

| Asters Yellow can affect more than 48 plant families. Veronica is on the list. Google plants affected by AY you'll see a bunch of them it's scary. |

| Given how popular RC is on here, we'll have to place boday in the quarantine section of GW |

But this is, very bad, obviously it overwintered - a lot of time and money went into this, all for naught. I'm scrambling around trying to patch holes. Definitely not gruntled. |

| It's sickening to see your plants go down like that They can go into remission during high heat. But as far as I can tell AY will eventually kill the plant. I'm sorry about your veronica. In case some may not know, watch your phlox, campanula, gladiolas ect. Thats what scared me about veronica Blue Bomb, the flowers looked like a witches broom. Another symptom of asters yellow. Sure hope it wasn't. |
