Any clue as to why these come up so raggy? Cross pollination? Radiation?

    Yeech, thats nasty.

    It could be damage to the bud before it emerges from the ground. Worst case, it’s a virus, and the bulbs should be destroyed.

    Are there others nearby this one? Do they look okay?

      Definitely a virus. Five years later and they all look that way still.
