Streaked, in my opinion, means that the plant has all sorts of funny and
different colorations---it is not a solid colour, nor is it variegated, i.e.,
has a defined center and a different colored margin. 'Dorothy Benedict' is
"streaked." Great Expectations is not. Neither is 'Striptease'.
They are unstable---if you want to breed--get the streakies.
