The clumps throughout the Entrance Garden are well established and have been there for some time. Within the population there is great variability of the presence and size of the purple spots on the flowers. I have not seen the severity of flower abnormality as shown on the website you linked with. As noted, the only guaranteed way to verify viral presence is through virus testing.

I think viruses like that are fascinating. Rembrandt tulips too.
