Hi Chris and all,
I was sent from Gardenweb Forums to check with you if this hosta has HVX. I can't tell if bleeding is associated with HVX on this one. Some leaves are ok, some are not. Thank you all!

Re: Parky's Prize HVX
Always hate being the bearer of bad news, but yes, this is the bleeding you can see on an HVX infected plants. Some get bleeding that is a darker color and others will be a lighter color. This one the bleeding/discoloration is lighter.
Also I suggest people ignore the first set of leaves and only look at the newest and in this case the newest leaf is showing symptoms too.
Sorry, this plant has a virus

Chris,
Thank you so much for the confirmation! I'm on my way to get this plant far, far away from my garden. I think the good thing is it's not very big so the roots shouldn't be interfering with my other hostas. I'll be watching the rest for the next couple of years.
