If I were a buddhist I would know tht in this incarnation the lesson I have to learn is patience and humility in the face of malevolent forces directed at my orchids....

I just don't see how customs could check for viruses, since there is often nothing to see.

Thank you Geoff.
Sure, I don't, either. I sounded naive. I was just upset when I posted that message. I came home and saw those spots on petals.. Not very pleasant discovery, you know. I loved the plant, and now I have to get rid of it... etc. All those thoughts and emotions.
I also bought many plants in the last few years which did not last long. One plant was rotten when I came home 5 hours later after Redland show, so I know exactly what you are talking about. It happens. Thank you for LOL

I am sorry for your loss, how do you test for viruses?

[Halloamey]

I do not think so. There has been a lot of research into many chemical compounds also known as plant chemotherapy which can eliminate plant viral infections. Salicylates and Guanidine orthologs being some of them. In some years I believe we will have effective virucides like we have for many animal viruses or insecticides we have for many insects.
