I once read somewhere that the colorless white or yellow stripes in the
varigated plants don't contain much or any chlorophyll and don't contribute
to the plants food supplys like the normal green foilage. I assume that
some varigated plants that go green by summers end do so as a way to go on
and store enough energy away for the winter so they can come back next
year. Varigated seedlings with very little or green in their leaves often
don't survive. Adaption and survival.
