I concure with you Cereus-validus. I went to McKay's used book store in
Knoxvegas today and found a book on plant diseases and despite that it only
covered what appeared as fruits and vegetable diseases, I found an
anthrachnose disease on something that resembled the markings on the hosta
exactly. A fungicide will help and removal of infected leaves and sent to
the landfill and not composted......(spraying fungicide got rid of
anthrachnose on a dogwood I bought infected with it from the nursery and
despite that it didn't bloom, the leaves didn't horribly shrivel and drop
off like they did last year)

After seeing the picture on alt.binaries.pictures.gardens,
I would go along with Vox and say it is probably Hosta anthracnose:

You humid spring has only aggravated the problem.


Madgardner - Thanks for the help. I will try a fungicide next year as
it's probably too late now.
