I don't know what it USED to be,but it is infected with HVX,or hosta virus X,and should be destroyed! I'm sure others will agree with me. Phil

I second HVX!!! Make sure to search the FAQ about the disease and how to properly dispose of it and avoid it from spreading.

This is so sad! I did my research and you guys are probably right. I figure it would be best to just burn it and save my other hostas from this nasty virus.
Thanks for all your help!

Lots more going on over there! :o)
