RVDP, 'Red Vein Dark Phoenix' (Siam Flora), is a papillilaminum-variegata × 'Ace of Spades' hybrid known for deep maroon-black velvet and bold red veins. The cross runs dark and velvet, pairing forgetii's rounded form with RVDP's red-veined depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- ===== ON MUTATION ===== --\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-top: 26px;\"\u003eOn mutation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eA mutation is a spontaneous change in a single cell's genetics that carries into every cell it then divides into. In plants, many of the traits collectors prize — variegation, colour breaks, unusual form — begin exactly this way, in the growing tip. Because the change starts in one cell line, a mutated plant is often chimeral: only part of it carries the change, which is why expression varies from leaf to leaf and side to side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eThat also means it can move — a mutation may strengthen, shift, or partly revert as new leaves form, depending on which cells build each leaf. None of that is a fault; it's the nature of the thing, and it's why a mutated plant is genuinely one-of-one and can't be reproduced exactly. Buy it for what it shows now, with the upside that it may carry on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- ===== THIS SPECIMEN ===== --\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-top: 26px;\"\u003eThis specimen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"line-height: 1.7;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStage:\u003c\/strong\u003e medium, established\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeaves:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePot:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMutation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Visible on current growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e Inner pot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acclimated and ready to ship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.6; color: #6b2d5c;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne specimen.
