Glen,
I believe that H. 'Striptease' has a high cull rate and I have heard that
H. 'Laura and Darrell' has been difficult to TC (greater than 95% cull
rate).
Which older stable hostas are you referring to that their prices are so
high?
It may just be that the TC labs see a limited market and have not bothered
with them.
Streaked plants do show up in TC, although it is quite rare. These are
some I am aware of: streaked H. 'Sum and Substance', streaked
H. 'Fragrant Bouquet', streaked H. 'Yellow Emperor', streaked H. 'Pizzazz'
and streaked H. 'Delta Dawn'. Can anyone else add to the list?
Thanks!

Dear FHO:
I would be interested to know if there any so-called stable hostas
which have resisted TC , or have been very difficult. I look at the prices
of some of the stable yet older hostas and can not help but wonder why the
prices remain so high if TC is posssible.
I (believe) I know that unstable streaked plants can not be TC'ed ,
although I understand that they may show up in TC process of a stable
plant. Was the TCing of 'Spilt Milk' a coup?
