    Ken, I took some photos out at The Land of the Giants a few years ago and I'm pretty sure this is a pic of 'The Right Stuff'

    Hmmm Ken...sounds like yours is becoming a medio-variegated plant...which is named 'The Right One'. Maybe time to divide it if you want to keep it streaked.

    By the way, I inspected the plant at Land of the Giants earlier this summer and don't think the substance is any better than average, so the description on the registration sheet isn't accurate IMO: "...large round dark green leaves of heavy substance..." Ken, do you think your plant has better than average substance? If you have a micrometer or calipers, you can measure the leaf thickness (between the veins).

    thanks all ...

    idiot may now commence the hilarity .. lol ..

    sometimes i ask things.. and never get an answer.. because everyone is joking around ...

    and i really needed an answer this time ...

    anyway .. its interesting in the pix above.. that though both are streaked.. one is edging.. and one i centering..

    something bothers me about that ...

    i think.. the right one ... is the white center version ...

    thanks again... and sorry for going cranky on id and do ...

    i dont have a micrometer don ....

    I looked at the sports listing... two medio-variegated names listed, Daredevil and The Right Stuff. The first from Zilis, the second from Eslager. So... sounds like one more double naming of the same plant.

    But no edge variegated stabilization - so nobody has found H. The Wrong One yet...
