Thanks for your input Ken. That's not good news...I'll isolate it for now until I can pick up a testing strip. IF it does turn out to be the virus I will be hugely miffed. I spent big bucks at the "best" nursery for this?? Unfortunately, I've planted the others :( I'm saying some other words right now...you'd be surprised how many @#$#@# words I know!!!

Send an email with a photo to Chris Wilson at Hallson Gardens. There are several diseases that can affect hostas and some can be treated. He knows what HVX look like on different hostas and the ones that are most likely affected.
