Hi Béatrice,

No, I don't think the leaves look virused. It looks like some kind of insect damage to me but I'm not sure what. Here is what virused leaves looks like. Time to cook the bulb I guess☺

Beatrice, it looks like damage done by a "sucking" insect or perhaps something that splashed upon the leaves. I don't know if Donna is suggesting the hot water treatment for your bulb or hers, but for yours I'd think a systemic insecticide would do the trick and be kinder for your bulb.

Thank you Kristy and Donna , it's sure that the marks are very different from the mosaic virus , I was wondering if there were different viruses with different paterns. Donna....I've cooked this one in december ! I never saw the marks before the strong sun of this afternoon going through the leaves.

Hello Béatrice,

Overall, your mother bulb and offsets look great!

Have you carefully inspected between the leaves for signs of pests?

A magnifying glass can be most helpful with this.

Cheers,

Blanca
