Super Red Plantain Variegated?

We purchased this variety last fall. The original pup, I believe it was tissue cultured, died from the frost early this year. This pup came up on the side of the pot. I don't remember the original pup showing any variegation. What do you guys think? It doesn't appear to like the sun so we moved it below a tree so it can be in partial sun. We are going to keep an eye on it and see what it becomes as it grows. [IMG]

Sorry about the pic. First time adding a picture to gallery and I messed it up. I cannot figure out how to turn it up right.

Thats pretty neat.
There are a few good virus threads in the forum that have the look of varigation.
Tc plants were mentioned a few times.
Hopefully that is not your case and the plant is a chimera.

For me TC hostas can have Hosta Virus X which makes an interesting varigation...but the plants have to be destroyed.
