There are a couple of white variegated Vinca out there already: 'Sterling
Silver' and 'Ralph Shugert' are two that I purchased after finding this
one as a comparison. They biggest difference is that mine doesn't have
any dark green foliage -- the darkest part is a moss green.

I was mostly kidding about that. :) The Belamcanda is actually at my
parents' house which built in 1868, so any nuclear waste was purely
accidental. My house was built in 1939, so I think it's OK too... :)
In all seriousness, I think the Vinca mutation was caused by RoundUp.
