Re: Stabilizing Sports--Help us Lu Treadway.

This would be a good time for Lu Treadway to give us a list of all of the sports of H. Hyacinthina from her database. There are quite a few. We don't have H. Hyacinthina at HostaSports yet in part due to the large number of sports it has thrown and in part due to laziness on Preston's and my part.

...Bill Thankyou. I would love to describe it. I don't have any pictures but
hope to get a digital soon to remedy that. This is a natural sporting of H.
Hyacinthina, typical green, rich and full. The sported white is very
interesting to me as it appears in two ways, a motteled/smeared white
(possibly in L1) with the standard green appearing to be under it (possibly
in L2 or L3). The second is a sectorial or mericlinal chimera appearing only
on one side of leaf mid rib. This coloring appears on approx. half of the
leaves on each crown that I have separated. In 3 years I have gathered about
15-18 crown divisions displaying this sporting. It also appears that I have
lost (visually) the sporting in some of the divisions as they reverted back
to green. Also each year I get a new surprise as each division returns plus
or minus in number of leaves that display the white
  Bill I hope I haven't totally confused the issue, I will take pictures
this spring.
