Hello everyone
I inherited a small garden, with some decades old clumps, but I see some foliage that make me think of virus. There's just not really much information about it besides some species like cannas, and it kind of looks like thrips damage too, which i did found on some plants.
However, it does look more like mosaic virus than thrips damage on some species to me so, I would be very grateful if you could help me out on what is just pest damage and on what I should trash out not to infect new plants.
My amaryllis belladonna grow and flower fine/ well but after a closer inspection they show a light green mosaic pattern on foliage similar to mosaic virus in Hippeastrum. Besides that, leaf tips seem to curl too much.
It's not leaf senescence, it's present on virtually all leaves at different degrees.
They look fine at distance, but at a closer look..
Iris...
All plants of mostly 1 variety, maybe only this variety within 4, have this pattern on virtually all leaves, old, young, still unfurled ones.
Others just look like this, right by their side:
