Hi there, and welcome. Can you say how many leaves on this plant have this color break? I'm guessing this is Gold Tiara, so it has lots of leaves. :) Would be strange for HVX to only show on one (and one that looks like it might have suffered some physical damage).

The Hosta pictured has maybe 12 leaves with the marking. I also have a lake home and there are a few Hosta withe the same markings.
Thanks
