Question Not a Saba

Ordered this last fall from the Banana Tree as a corm, it was said to be a Saba. Wintered it in the greenhouse but it never really did much. Finally, in Jan. it began to grow and was solid green with lots of wax. I put it out about 6 weeks ago in my beds. 2 weeks ago when doing my daily survey I noticed red splotches on the leaves and Quickly shot Chris a PM asking about it. He said it was not a Saba as they are solid green. So what is it? Red Iholene maybe? Doesn't look like any of my others with its pink pseudo and pink on the underside of the leaves. It seems to grow pretty slow and may be a dwarf. Any guesses? Thanx-Nate
