Chris--what do you think?

Post by Roxanne »

Got it off ebay last year. It looked fine. This year it's one that got frosted, went down bigtime. Now it has cutworm damage... :lol: (what else could go wrong?) This pic I am focusing on three older leaves. You will know which ones.

It does have some odd coloration, but after all it has been through it could be from all the stress.

The odd part, though, is that I looked at the first picture in the hosta library and it has some dark lines along the veins in a couple leaves. It would be impossible to tell from such a wide shot, but I would be interested in seeing a closeup of it...

If it was me I would wait and watch it. Hopefully it will grow out of the troubles ;)

Good luck!

Chris
