Dear experts,
Some minutes ago I registed here because I have a strong suspicion that one of my hostas has this virus.
I'd be grateful if you could comment. I do not know the hosta's name. Here are the leaves with parts where no
color seems to be any more, looks sort of faded out:

Hello,
This looks like frost/cold damage. It doesn't look like any kind of virus

So much of this kind of damage (a sort of plant edema) due to strange weather this spring. The leaves sucked up a lot of water and then the cells burst before the cell walls had strengthened sufficiently. The kind of damage that the edges of Frances Williams show in most years.

Thank you so much - I am relieved. I love my Hostas.
