I think you're right. What I've always thought in the back of my mind was
that "sun and age" were the causes, but it sounds like you're talking
genetics? Some of my Japanese Painted Ferns are closer to the Branford
Beauty in terms of light grey-green color without much of the mauve and
silver. Like I said, I've been expecting them to "come into their own" in
terms of color BY NEXT YEAR! :-)

Well, I just mean they all look different. No two are alike. Some have
brighter markings than others. Markings on leaves, color of stems... lots
of maroon and silver on some, less so on others. Maybe it's just me...
