| Do i have a problem on my hands?
I was worried after reading another post.... I have only received bulbs from one person, and the bulbs looked fine... Hopefully this is just insect damage.. or something else.

| Well, the last pic is mealy bugs-- use a systemic insecticide and move it away from your others.... |

| Yes, at a minimum, you have mealy bugs. To immediately kill the little pests, spray with alchol and water at a 50 percent solution. Then treat with systemic to discover if the plant is infected with a virus. |

| Haha I wish it were that simple... I honestly do not know what to look for... To me they look different but some aspects look the same... KB |

| It looks like more than one type of insect has damaged the leaves.You would have a very hard time telling if there are mosaic symptoms,with all that damage.I lean toward it being only insect damage. Del |

| My botanist friend concluded it was just insect damage... So all is good!!! |
