I can't confirm it, but I suspect a mealybug infestation caused the virus--that is, mealybugs transferred the virus to the plant. I've had mealybug infestations elsewhere in my landscaping, so I'm not surprised. I did spray with insecticidal soap, but I think I was too late with it. Right now, I will likely not replant.
