Hi Adam, Chris, Wilbert and All.

I have a few questions regarding variegation I'm hoping someone can answe=r.
This thread brought them to mind, so I figured "no time like the present".

What is it about this variegation that makes you suspect it as being vira=l?
Is it the over all marbling?  In Arisaemas, is a true mutation form of
variegation only cream or silver centered leaves?  If viral, can this be
intentionally induced or is it spontaneous?  If the plant produces offset=s,
does the viral variegation show up in them too?  Do seeds from this plant
show the same viral variegation?  If viral, does it eventually go away?

I have a bunch of ringens seedlings and one shows this same marbling
variegation.  It will be interesting to see what happens as it ages.

Thanks!  Russell
