						 An article  by C.H. Falstad about the stability of colors 
						in hosta leaves in 
			The 
				Hosta Journal (2006 Vol. 37 No. 1) says, "However, in a 
variegated plant, when the cells don't stay in place, the leaves can end up all 
one color, as when 'Guacamole'...goes back to 'Fried Green Tomatoes'...In rare 
instances, a complete pattern reversal can occur, as with 'Flame Stitch'...from 
H. ventricosa   'Aureomarginata'...and 'Eskimo 
Pie'...from 'Northern Exposure'..."
