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. >>
Wow, Jim, I give you five stars for the above, but I need a picture. I think
my eyes turned back in my head. From what I can understand though this
sounds very interesting.
How about everyone giving a pic or a description of the most interesting
sport that they have ever seen.
I will go first, 1) hypoluca streaked and 2) Jim Schwartz had a nice man
working with him at Hosta College who had a picture of a very interesting
sport of Venus that was streaked and had very heavy blooms, double and heavy,
if this plant can be stabilized and reproduce it will really be something. I
will buy it!
Jim S. can you comment on this, and sorry that I forgot the name of your
friend, very nice guy, but I am worse with people names than I am with hosta
names.
