Hi Rick,
I was a person that bought some of the first streaked sports of H.'Delta
Dawn' from Mark Zilis a few years ago. Because the Hosta Finder does not
usually list plants that are named "streaked", I followed the trend (i.e.,
H.'Iron Gate Supreme' and H. 'Savannah Supreme') and called it H.'Delta Dawn
Supreme' Thus , I think this plant should be very much the same as H.'Delta
Pride', introduced by Q&Z.
I have know idea where H.'Delta Force' came from.
