Hey Brian,

I was thinking the same thing after looking at your site and the "different" colorations. I see that you gave a name to the 2 tone green variety. My first plant is that light green with some very light green on part of the leaf. It runs parallel to the midrib, NOT from midrib out to edge. It appears to be a pretty strong grower and although very light green, it seems to take day long S FL sun without burning. The replacement Red one seems a lot slower. Lack of green to make chlorophyl?

I also noticed my replacement Red doesn't look like the pics of the one that keeps getting posted on here (granted mine is still a lot smaller) so I wondered if we might have several "different" patterns. Maybe we will end up with Siam Ruby var. A, B, C, etc.

Hope you get the pics on here so we can start tracking coloration and see if different "patterns" appear.

Take care - Terry
