The good news is that you didn't kill an A'ea'e
Now the question is why did you think one of your Variegated Florida was an A'ea'e?
The A'ea'e is a triploid with one balbisiana gene
The Florida is a diploid with no balbisiana gene
Knowing this let's you focus on the differences between a diploid and a triploid and also the differences between having a balbisiana gene and not having a balbisiana gene in it's genotype.
