Hi Beth & All,

Yes. It is rather like pulmonarias.If you have a plant that is suspectible to 
a fungus, it doesn't necessarily follow that the plant was infected when the 
grower sent it to you.
I am certainly no botanist, but I think that anthracnose (or any fungus) can 
infect a plant even if you have no other infected plants in your garden.

I never noticed a fungus on P. 'Mrs. Moon' until some three years after I 
acquired it.

My advice: Spray all gold hostas with an aqueous solution of a fungicide.

A friend of mine has a marvelous clump of 'Tattoo' (that I gave her from 
Avent's plant he sent me)that is free of anthracnose. She lives within a 
stone's throw of me.
I figure that somewhere there was the fungus in my garden---it was not 
infected when I got it from Tony.

OOPS! Just got hit by a rock.
