Another shot of empress wu

Albo picta......not ok is it???

Albo picta again......virus???

Where did you get them? From a reliable source? How were they last year? Zone 3 is cold. Was it cold when they emerged? Tree roots? Sleep, creep leap. I see a lot of mulch...are they planted too deeply?

Do I have too much mulch?? One comes from a place called Canadian tire, and the other the empress wu comes from the same place "Forest Hall" that had my last two with Virus X. We had an exceptionally cold spring, and I actually thought it was from stepping on it, but this year I have a few that have leaves like this Empress Wu just not as bad as this one.
Both were new last year. And yes there are willow trees very close by. I think that's what they are is willow trees. The bed is under the willow trees that has the Albo Picta and the empress wu is not far from it.

This isn't the HVX is it??? Just something else that I can work with then??

Empress Wu looks stepped on and Albopicta starts out witih a whitish center that turns solid green so that is normal for now. Give them some water and a little time to grow.

YAY!!!! I can deal with that!!! Stepped on, not enough water!! Hurray, at least its not the damn hosta virus X!!! I am so happy thanks Chris!!!!
