						  This sport of H. 'Striptease' was 
				registered by 
				Bob Whitmore of Indiana in 2002.   Its foliage is slightly 
				corrugated and slightly wavy. The pale lavender flowers start to 
				bloom in mid-July. 
According to
				The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...differs from 'Striptease' by 
				its narrow, creamy white center..."
						 
			  
From 
				The 
				Hosta Journal,  (2008 Vol. 39 No 1),  "...white-centered sports, 'White Bikini' and 'Pole 
Cat', have been named but are not as widely available as 'Risky 
Business'. Both are very similar, if not identical, to it."

						 An article by
			
			Warren I. Pollack in 
			The 
				Hosta Journal  (2020 Vol. 51 No. 1) titled 
			Doppelgänger Hostas: Fancy Name for 
			Look-alike Hostas, included a long list of hostas  
			which various hostaphiles, published articles or other sources have 
			indicated "look" the same. Some of these are, in fact, the same 
			plant with two or more different names. Others are hostas that vary 
			in some minor trait which is not immediately discernable to the 
			casual observer such as seasonal color variations, bloom traits, ploidy, etc. So, as Warren mentions, hostaphiles may differ as to the 
			plants listed but then, their opinions are based on visual observations  and interpretations.  |
