I don't see anything in that first one, but sometimes the signs can be subtle at first.
The second one doesn't seem to resemble a GS very much, so not sure what's going on with it.
That third one is just plain ugly, but again, not sure what the problem is specifically. Give some of the others on here a chance to look at them before doing anything with them.
Good luck!!!

Hi Marnett,

Yes, pictures of Gold Standard 2 and 3 are definitely hosta virus x, and are also in a lot of sun. I would be wary of any other Gold Standard purchased at the same time as those.

Sorry,

Chris
