I have a couple of these from Chris. Here is a shot of my first one from 2010:

This focuses on some colors that show up in the leaf:

Here are some photos of another one in 2012:

This photo of an odd leaf demonstrates that the "signature" white strip still exists in this Striptease sport. It is just obscured by the white center.

Here is that last plant about two weeks later:

Just found some photos of another one. I have had this one about three seasons. It sits with three other white centered sports of Striptease. (You can't tell the players without a score card.)

This one is showing a lot of chartreuse or orange (or whatever that color is) on some leaves. This variation changes from season to season. It also seems to be a little darker coloration than the "normal" small chartreuse streaks that show up on these plants.
These shots were cropped from the group pictures:

Here are the group shots for context - luckily the photos are in the same orientation.
Pole Cat is on the left edge, White Bikini is on the bottom, Lapdance is on the top, White Line Fever is on the right edge.

Some others in this frame are: Silver Eagle in the bottom left corner, Emerald Necklace in the bottom right corner, and in the top left corner is my sport of Hanky Panky called Dubious Behavior.
