Re: [hostapix] Kisuji's (Inaho) variegation?

Hi Cindy,
       I've had it for years. I got it from Ken Anderson. On mine the variegation is brightest when it first comes up, but still visible in fall. I'm thinking that the photo from Le Jardin Anglais is not the 'Inaho' I have, but something very similar. Schmid's book describes (and pictures) a sieboldii 'Mediopicta', which sounds more like what I have. As Tim says, 'Inaho' is supposed to be sterile, and the plant I have sets plenty of seed, as sieboldii 'Mediopicta' is supposed to do. Maybe our plants came from the same source.

Thanks Tim.  I just looked it up in Zilis' book, something I could have done 1st, huh?  But this is so much more fun!  When I bought mine from Hideko Gowen....maybe 6 years ago....I was told by some that it would turn all green during the summer.  I've found that the variegation lasts 'till very late summer for me. 
 
What have others experienced?
