I'll try to post a pic of it and let you see what you think. Yours look very nice, though.
I wish I knew how to quote more than one person in one message. Somehow, that skill has eluded me for many years now, lol.

Brent, the midrib isn't very red at all on the var. itinerans, which is in the first 3 pictures. Sure, you can tell a little bit of red on the underside of the newest leaves, but that fades quickly to green. 'India Form' is the only one that I've seen that has the markings on the top surface of the leaves. I'd be glad to look at a picture.
