| Patticake, there are a number of different plant cultivars that depend on viruses for their flower pattern. DO NOT confuse that with a good thing. The virus is definitely harmful to the long term health of the plant. So some dingbat built a plant around a virus so he could sell something unique. That plant then can be the source of virus for any and all of your other plants. So if you want something different for a wedding reception, it will work but at what cost. Remember, that same process led to the demise of the Dutch tulip industry.
