White lines.  As for Striker, Pete Ruh, bought venusta from the old Q & Z
nursery a long time ago.  This plant was from a venusta that may not have 
"typical" foliage form.  The bloom, however, "keys" out as definatly 
venusta.  In 1990, I obtained a large volume of this "stock" from Pete.  
We immediatly noiticed verious streaked patterns showing in a few of the 
plants.  I have managed over the years to find one that holds the white 
edge. That is Striker. It is, as far as I am concerned, a white edged 
venusta type.  Occasionally one of these plants will have the white 
streak to the center of the leaf, and produce white streaks on the 
leaves.  I have several nice seedlings from these.
