Well, I have Guacamole and Fried Green Tomatoes, and did not remember which should look what way. But I also have Holy Mole! and it is awfully big. And the leaf seems wider than it is long, and it has lighter/medium green for a slash down the middle, and then that dark green on the rest of the leaf. Not really MARGINAL, since the dark green is most of the leaf. But if you like Guacamole, have you tried Holy Mole? It has really heavy substance. I did not order Avocado, it was a bonus plant, and so was Mango Salsa, so I think I've swept the entire Mexican dinner menu here. That Mango Salsa has red legs and yellow leaves, don't know the blossom color. Pretty plant. I always appreciate the plantaginea progeny, which is why Guacamole, Fried Green Tomatoes, Fried Bananas were among my first hosta; hoping for a great fragrance. If all of my plantagineas bloom in August and Sept, I bet the fragrance will be noticeable all around the neighborhood.

You can send the plant to a local University plant pathology lab if you want to know for sure what kind of virus this is. Whatever the name, it's a virus, and since plants do not have immune systems it needs to be gotten rid of, pot, soil mix and all. Some viruses do use dagger nematodes as vectors for the disease. Tomato ringspot has this as a vector. You can mitigate that by pouring boiling water over the area where the plant was stationed. You could also use Zerotol as a soil drench in that area. Don't forget to disinfect your tools. Just in case. Steve Here is a link that might be useful: Zerotol

Guacamole can't revert to Fried Green Tomaotes, because it did not come from FGT (revert implies going back, sport implies going forward). It sported out of Fragrant Bouquet, so hypothetically it could revert to Fragrant Bouquet. It sported into FGT. So, it could be sporting into FGT. If your plant is all green (by that I mean all the leaves are the same), then it's probably a stress situation or mislabeled and not sporting at all. Also, my Guacamole did not show the nice edge until it matured some, so that may be an issue. You could see the edge, but you really had to look for it. The photo is an example of what I'm talking about. This is a hosta I picked up that is probably Paul's Glory, It has a big sport (maybe two eyes) that is solid green. (I usually don't buy hosta that are this ugly, but this was a special situation.) The solid green part is a sport (usually Wheaton Blue for Paul's Glory). It's not the whole plant, but just an eye. The plant should be gold with a blue green edge, but has been severely stressed. The uglies are a result of stress. It should be fine next year, but the blue part will probably still be there. It's the sport part. At least that's the way I understand it. bkay
