Interesting that the dwarf and tall would vary that much in variegation color. I would have thought that the two would have originated from a single Namwa parent plant ay some point. Does this mean that the two could have come from a batch of seeds instead or is this normal behavior for a line of plants from a common ancestor? I guess it could also be explained by the dwarf needing more chlorophyl because it could not reach as much sun while the tall gets too much sun for it's needs.
