different 'family'? brug
Comments (5)gardengal70, let me add to the confusion with the classifying of the wild species of Brugmansias as Arbores, aurea, insignis, sanguinea, suaveolens, versicolor and vulcanicola. There is a whole new classifiying of those Hybrids that can go on forever. Please if you haven't gotten the Brugmansia Bible please do so! Ulrike and Hans-Georg Preissel's book Brugmansia and Datura / Angel's Trumpets and Thorn Apples is well worth every penny! Filled with lots of good reading and the photos are even worth it....See MoreHosta of the Day - Striptease
Comments (29)We have some wonderful neighbors who have a beautiful mature hosta under their magnolia. When they saw some of my new purchases and we started talking about their cultivar names, they asked if theirs also had a name. They are a very devout baptist family, so I winced a little when I told them them their beloved plant was called "Striptease." They looked a bit mortified, then he said, "Ehh...I think we'll just call her Jezebel." :)...See MoreStriptease streaking?
Comments (4)Striptease doesn't have a mommy or daddy... it is a sport from Gold Standard. And Gold Standard is a sport from Fortunei. And Fortunei is so scattered that it used to be considered a species... Striptease is a very variable plant from a very variable family... so this will probably stabilize into a regular striptease, or may be one more sport to add to the list - 44 on the list I checked. You might enjoy this hosta sports reference page: http://myhostas.be/sports/# Sum and Substance will like your conditions. It would grow faster with brighter light, but on the other hand, will probably have less burning and such under your conditions. The one thing it probably won't develop is the kind of metallic sheen some S&S get, usually those getting some direct sun in mid-season. I grow Patriot is deep, deep shade. It grows very slowly. Mostly, it just sits there. The white margin does give a nice bright spot in the shade. To be fair, this is my least favorite of the very popular hostas, so it is in deep shade because I don't care to see it very often... sorry - I know i'm a minority in this......See MoreStriptease
Comments (10)There is now much known about this subject than 10 years ago. Hosta Library is a great source of knowledge. There are people on the forum who have left their hostas alone and surrounding plants are fine. Then there are other members who have to remove them for their own sanity. Yes it can be transfered to other hostas...but to be honest before all the hoopla about using sterile tecniques when cutting and transplanting...well I just didn't do it. I did bleach my shovel after taking the lovely plant out and cleaned up roots. But nothing else has ever showed its wicked leaves. I believe the important issue is to get plants from a reputable grower. And just become aware of what it looks like and if you can prevent it than do so. And sometimes you can find good buys in box stores or other sources. What is that saying "Consumer Beware". Just pack yourself with knowledge. I will say I have been in a yard that there was a hosta variety that the owner was spliting very regularly(over 50) and all of them had HVX...but none of her other varieties of hostas did. Did she use sterile methods on her others...I don't think so. Does she know she has HVX, I don't think so.... Go figure. I would rather dispose of a young plant with HVX than to dig out a mature plant of 8 years...it's just sad....See More

last yearlast modified: last yearOf course, should have thought to elaborate.
Here is list of what I should have
Playmate, Naked Lady, Juha, Pole cat, White bikini, Moulin Rouge×2, Hanky Panky×2
?
?
This should be Pole catI am pretty sure on Obsene gesture, Risky bisness, Full frontal, YPDB, Snake eyes, Gypsy rose.
Never actually bought Striptease. Oldest should be Kiwi Full Monty. However biggest clump looks green...

last yearlast modified: last yearThank you Debra! I tend to get obsessive with my collectons at times but yeah... Feels like I am done with Striptease series....
Peren, thank you! That exactly I need to see and compare. I have difficult time figuring out if this is second flush on HP or it is not a HP as they kinda look different now.
Here is Obsene gesture which suppose to be very similat to Naked Lady. It was hiding under big hostas so got moved recently.
It is also possible that I have something else from the family just did not get in my records...

last yearI took a quick pic of Naked Lady yesterday and in late afternoon sun, by August, it looks like this:
Some leaf scorch and the second flush looks more like Full Frontal, but the old leaves are still holding their original color, like back in mid June:
While Obscene Gesture has already started the color change by the end of June (2020) but starts just like Naked Lady.

last yearlast modified: last yearJuha should be easy to tell since the plant shape is so different - smaller and narrower leaves with a little ripple.
Good luck since Pole Cat and White Bikini are so similar. I think White BIkini has a narrower white center. Pole Cat is supposed to have a chartreuse strip around the white, while White Bikini seems to have more chartreuse specks/strips inside the white. Both of which are pretty variable.
Hanky Panky is going to have the most color changing and oddly colored leaves throughout the season. Similar to YPDB. YPDB comes up earlier for me but gets a little more sun and seems to hold onto the initial color longer, but again, that could be the sun. YPDB in front and Hanky Panky in the middle (unnamed Home Depot look alike (but not really, lol) on the left and Holy Mole in the back).
and Playmate should be even wilder than these. Here's a Hanky Panky close up with some YPDB leaves in the bottom also from mid-June.
The older leaves on HP are well into the color switch while the older leaves on YPDB are hanging onto more chartreuse (initially yellow). I can post a pic from today in a bit. Here's the corresponding pic of YPDB:
Moulin Rouge is still young for me, but the white strip is wider, and the leaves are narrower. No pics of it yet, but I'll be back in a bit.lindalana 5b Chicago thanked steve duggins(Z6a) - Central Ohiosteve duggins(Z6a) - Central Ohio
last yearPics from today. YPDB seems much better-behaved color-wise (bottom).
Moulin Rouge's stripe kind of disappears in August but the new flush shows it well.
