Geranium Rozanne white streaks on leaves

Rumson, NJ

One of my Geranium Rozanne has suspicious looking variegation on its leaves this spring. The plant seems otherwise healthy and is even blooming, but as these plants aren't normally variegated I am concerned. Also, a few of the lowest leaves have brown spots all over them. Could this be a virus or other disease? Thanks.

I think youre right, looks like cucumber mosaic virus.

Yikes! Thanks for the info. I just went and pulled two geraniums, this one and another that just started showing symptoms. Bagged and trashed, and hopefully none of my other geraniums caught it.
