What do you think? I´ve got this Hosta for 2 years now- no signs last year. This year it came up and the first leave became some days of frost and rainy wheater- the leave rolled off and looks this way:

Those snowflake-like patterns are definitely from frost. The light color on the veins might be too. I wouldn't worry about it now, just watch the next set of leaves. They will be fine :)

Thank U!!!!!! Look at photo 4- have you seen this at one vein? That is whati worries me the most. All other new upcoming leaves look totally normal- so i hope that you are right and it was just frost- it even is very cold this spring here- to cold even now.

Yes, I saw those light spots on the veins but I think that is just where some frost settled. Without the other frost damage it would be a concern, but I think this one is okay :)
