Hydrangeas: Why does Kirengeshoma palmata show black veins in leaves?, 1 by peony8

bookreader451, would you mind sharing your source, saying dark veins are normal?

Black veins are not what is shown in my books or on Google images: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=o...

It is also not how my plant appeared last year (see uploaded image).

When the plant was healthy, the veins were prominent/noticeable, but they were approximately the same color as the leaves. Not a single black vein.

I'll try to snap some images of the plant this afternoon and upload them here.
