right, back working again. I tried the " switch it off and on again" . Well.. I tried , I couldn't even do that so I removed the battery for a couple of hours and I've been able to get my photos from the camera.
It started showing last year, so I've really been hiding from it since then.
I use a " tropical gardening" group on FB and the consensus is , it's pretty endemic now. I feel a lot more sorry for folk who earn their livings from selling them. I'll not be buying any more for a while and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I've got saved seed of canna warscewiczii which I'll grow as annuals from now on.
Goodness Hosta. I'd be seriously despondent losing that many plants. Took me ages to get over the devastation to evergreen shrubs when we had a -32C - they don't like it and all of them, including conifers, curled up their toes. Took me a week to get over a hailstorm that obliterated my rhubarb and veggie seedlings and hostas while I was away at Chelsea and came home to see them shredded.
I have applied the evil product. brushwood killer and recommended for tough weeds such as thistles and nettles and also for unwanted saplings and re-growth on tree stumps.
Now to go and paint, just for a change.

Cannas;
I've got one left. So far so good.
This is the flower, but the one virus free plant isn't in flower.
All the others have gone.

Hosta that's awful! So glad there is at least one left what caused it?

It's spread by aphids.
Funny thing is we don't really have any neighbours close enough for me to have worried about it.
Hey ho.
You might be able to make out the healthy one in the first photo. Far bed at the edge of the path. Much darker foliage.
Oh Hosta ....... that looks so sad
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Dove, is the one I gave you ok? I'm kinda paranoid that I've given you an infected plant.
I would be so upset, you are very calm!

Thanks for the support guys.
On a plus note. I'm about to stick in some sweetcorn , courgettes, tomatoes and butternut squash in the beds where the cannas were.
