I was out getting some shots last week and noted these were holding up pretty well.
First is a sport of Striptease. It comes up brighter in the spring but looks like Striptease now.

In this next shot I was comparing the leaf color to a Fortunei Hyacinthina.

The second set of pictures (Striptease sport) look very similar5 to what some of my Hyacinthina did this year. Started to get slight lighter streaks on them. I have divided it off but up to now it hasn't shown much promise. If it doesn't make any porgress next year I think it will be the bin.

This is the third year for this one. The first year was a thin white stripe up the middle. Last year it was streaked like this year.
