Exactly where on the freaking planet are you?

What is has the temperature been the past few days?

When is the last time you watered the plants?

Which 'variety" is it that is having the problem? Is it a variegate?

You cannot post pictures to this newsgroup. Try
alt.binaries.pictures.gardens instead.


Ok. I'm located in Dayton, OH. It's been warm and humid but these
plants do this every year regardless of temp or moisture. I don't know
the variety but the leaves are about 12 inches across and variegated.
the next time I post a picture it will be to the ng you mentioned.
Thanks.

I'm a few miles down I75 east of Cincinnati. Mine do the same thing. I
think it is due to environmental causes rather than disease or insect
damage. I sort of suspect it is due to water and debris on the leaves and
maybe mechanical injury to the leaves. Not all of mine seem to be effected.
The fortunei group seems the most likely to turn brown. Hosta gold standard
and patriot are the worst in my garden.
