    These are photos of some kind of disorder in my one specie of hosta. I am waiting till they flower before i ask for identification. In the meantime, i see this condition. I have about nine different hostas but only this one shows this. I have removed any leaves that show it. Would appreciate advice. Thank you

    There's this new problem, Hosta Virus X I think it's called. Look that up, see if it fits.

    Maybe read descriptions as plant disease symptoms can be quite variable in some instances.

    I think for now i shall assume it is virus x and take the precautions recommended, such as culling and destroying affected plants and cleaning a tool between handling plants.
    Thaks for your help ron.
