Amarguy,
That is what I call A. Joe Hoak. I was able to met Joe a few weeks ago after the South Fla trade shows in January but not Greg, his son, who I believed made the cross. He is a great guy to talk to about the recent history (50s-80s) of the ornamental plant market. It has been a challenge for me to grow this as the lower leafs get circular blemishes almost looking viral. It is beautiful when well grown.
Matt,as for the Shady Oaks connection on Kara's stripes, I think that is where Tony has some of his Agaves and Hostas tissue cultured.
Rob
