I was at a local nursery and found these today:
Dancing in the Rain
Marked Allegan Fog but what is this???? Ok, this pic is awful but it looks just like a bigger version of Lakeside Zinger...there were 3 that looked like this. All a light creamy color w/ the entire leaf speckled...no border.
This was marked Center of Attention...a sport or a mismark? I'm guessing a mismark but of what?
Thanks for taking the time to look! The "Allegan Fog" it the one that really caught my eye but maybe it's not unusual...?

Saw these sports today - should I get any tomorrow AM??

I would also pass on the DITR. It will likely revert back to a single color or to the normal DITR; it looks unstable and unattractive. The second one looks like it may be a very weak plant so price would determine whether I would want to play with it. The third one is unimpressive.
Many a great tune has been played on an older fiddle.

The Allegan Fog plant might be a sport without the outer green margins. If it greens up later like the center of Allegan Fog normally does then it might have some vigor to it.
Dancing in the Rain is from Blue Umbrellas so those two are just trying to revert back to the parent. Buy Blue Umbrellas if you want one of those.
And if you bought the last one it would forever bug you trying to figure out what it was. Trust me, I've done it before and won't do it again

LOL...I'll trust you and won't do it, Chris! I think I'm going to snag the Allegan Fog one. This one was as large as the AF's that were coming up so at this point, it appears to be at least as vigourous as the others. It's 10.00, which isn't cheap, but not crazy expensive either. Ok, off to sport hunt...be back w/ pic in a while!

All good advice. I'd pick up that Allegan Fog myself, but leave the other two behind. A while back I might have purchased the last one if I thought it was pretty or unique enough, even if I didn't know what it truly was, but now it would drive me nuts not to know!!
I hope the AF turns out to be strong and something special.

I never have any luck sport hunting in Omaha [or anywhere else] & discovered why last summer when I visited Tony Wong's garden. [He's the guy who used to do the Hosta Calendars.] He hunts for sports at the local hosta places 2 or 3 times a week. I don't stand a chance since I only get out there once or twice in a season.
I'll just have to live vicariously thru all of you guys who don't have to drive 2 hours to get somewhere.
