I have a weird virus that's affecting some of my echinacea in one of my
flower beds.


It looks like Aster Yellows. Aster yellows is caused by a tiny organism known
as a phytoplasma and is spread from plant to plant by leafhopper feeding. Once
infected, there is no cure. Diseased plants should be promptly removed and
discarded to reduce further spread.
