| This is a seedling of 
						H. 'Leaping 
						Lipizzan' from
				Trudy Van Wyke of Iowa. 
						From a photo on the
							Hosta Library, it appears to be a medium to large size 
						hosta with pointed, blue-green foliage that has a creamy 
						yellow streaked variegation. The leaves are slightly 
						corrugated and slightly wavy.
						
						 
			 
  An article by Rick Goodenough  in 
			The 
				Hosta Journal (2012 Vol. 43 No. 1) states that, “At the 
time I planted my ‘Leaping Lipizzan’ test seeds in 2008. I shared the same 
seeds with numerous folks who wanted to try them…Trudy Van Wyke…has named one of 
these fine blue streakers ‘Hosana’. 
Jeff Moore has an interesting and fairly 
rare yellow streaker from this lot that he calls ‘Stewball’ from the Peter, Paul 
and Mary song about a racehorse.”
