Have you heard of the new sport 'Becky'?

I saw this sans at Home Depot months ago and thought it was a regular S. t. Laurentii with some weird markings on it's leaves, but I didn't buy it. On July 31st, I went to the Chicago Botanic Gardens where the local C&S club was having a show and sale. I noticed very similar plants for sale ($6 or $8, I can't remember)and asked the seller about them (they were all labeled "Sans. Beckyi"). The seller told me that her husband had hit as many Home Depots in northeastern IL as he could and bought every last plant he could find. I went back to my Home Depot and found the plant still there, so I purchased it for $4.99. I looked online a bit and found that Bob Smoley "discovered" this sport and named it after his daughter. There were at least a couple of people who have posted their plant collections online and have this one included.

So, what does everyone think? Have you heard of this one?

Nancy
