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.
