Hello!

Sadly I has one of my Flashpoint lilies is virused this year, other 3 are completely healthy, but I touched the blooms of virused plant and then healthy plant without thinking.

I'm now just wondering if it could happen that I just infected other 3 lilies as well?

Any insight will be higlhy appreciated!

I don't think I have seen this discussed before. I would say not likely. Virus is spread by injection. So chewing or sucking insects going plant to plant. Or using pruners for cut flowers or cutting down stalks without cleaning/sterilizing between plants.

Thank You Connie! You calmed me down!

I also do believe, that touching the flowers is not enough to transfer a virus as there was just a soft touch, not like squeezing or breaking petals.
