Default Is this really a Patupi?

I recently purchased a patupi (kokopo) from Sow Exotic. I am now questioning whether or not the plant I received is actually a patupi.

All the images I have seen on-line of little patupis show the plants to be all green. Sundra also recently purchased a patupi from Sow Exotic and it looks all green to me. Here is a link to Sundra's post which includes a photo of the plant Sundra received from Sow Exotic: Kokopo/Patupi from Sow Exotic

What I received has a red pseudostem, red leaf margins, and red center veins on the leaves (see photos below). Before I contact Sow Exotic and complain, I want to see if everyone agrees with me.
