Ron - as I surveyed my trays of Am. atroviridis 'Midnight' I did indeed
find one with a solid, reddish milk chocolate-colored petiole; no
markings. But no guarantee that it won't develop markings in subsequent
seasons. Am. albus does that, solid green petiole during year 1 and
often 2 (from being an offset), spots after that.
