Leaf

Paul

Thank you for showing us this beauty, Gesila. Risky Business is one I have admired for a long time, and I finally got one last year. It will take awhile to catch up to yours. Like you and Paul, I really like the sharply defined narrow white center. Two nice pics!

Steve

Love those Risky Business pics! I just got one,but it looks like another Striptease to me. I think I got sold a dud! I'll just wait,and if it doesn't change,I'm going to tell the nursery about it. Phil

Gesila,here is a pic of my(supposed) Risky Business. What do you think? Phil

Hmmm, Phil, that leaf at the 6 o'clock position has the white line around the middle. So do a few more as you go up the plant from the 6:00 leaf. Could it have a deviant eye that is Striptease?

Pretty plant whatever it is.

Hey Phil,

I wonder if you might have Gypsy Rose, another sport of Striptease. Here is a pic of mine taken a couple of years ago. What do you think?

Steve

Mine seems to be getting a little twist...is that usual?

I already have a Gypsy Rose,but mine is a lot older than that. I'll just have to wait and see what it turns out ot be. Phil

Gorgeous pics of what I think is one of the most striking hostas. Mine is also three years old and I will get a pic when it stops raining. It's in my over planted bed so I will have to give it more room soon.

White Middles . . . IâÂÂm in !!!

I donâÂÂt have Risky Business, but I did order White Bikini this year which is almost a perfect look-a-like for Risky Business, IMO.

From my research, the only thing I was able to conclude is that RB ends up developing that twist at the end of its leaf where WB does not.

It is also said that WB has a slightly thinner middle than RB.

I plan on ordering RB as well to grow them both and see for myself. I love the look of the plant and wouldnâÂÂt mind if they end up being look-a-likes. :)
