Hiya Ice Cream or Goldfinger????????????

Last fall I bought this on Ebay and it was listed as a Goldfinger. But after reading and looking at everyones pics this year I think it might be a Ice Cream. Any veteran thoughts out there? I know I can't be certain til it flowers but I was hoping someone might see something in one of the pics that might help me rule one of them out. Thanks.

I don't recall seeing as much red in the midrib of my IC, however, mine is not as mature as yours - and my Goldfinger is still quite small.

I do not know what a GoldFinger looks like; this one looks a little like and IC but the red midrib doesn't match what I have...

Hmmm...it doesn't appear to be either one. Perhaps 'Belle'.

It looks a lot like an Ice Cream, my IC has more color in the log part of it. My Leafs are red like that when the first open (Only on sunny Days) then it fades to green. And under the leafs look almost white. But I am not sure if it is IC, it looks kind of like mine, but different. My IC is covered in white powder the pups, mother stalk, leafs, the joins, pretty much if I touch mine I have to wipe white powder off my hand's so it might not be an IC, but the amount of pups and how fast it grows should be a good sign also. My IC has shot out 6 pups in about 6 months.

I think it could be an IC.
