Hey, yes that's Isabella, age 6 almost 7.
I think that over the years of the cultivation of H. pubicalyx cultivars and H. carnosa cultivars, it is neigh impossible to afix a proper ID. The cultivars have been around for SOOOoooo many years and folks finding seed pods, growing them out and sharing with their friends, it is impossible to be 100% sure of anything. Colors and flecks on leaves are so influenced by nutrition, soil makeup etc.... it's "a crap shoot"!!!! I am to the point where I agree with the pros...it's a H. pubicalyx. Full stop.
