True, TC plants are clones (DNA dupes) but genetic output can vary as well. Think of it like people. Two normal size adults can produce a child that does not grow to the size of a normal adult. The offspring of humans are also highly variable with different hair colors, different skin shades, different eye coloration, different heights and different body shapes. Look up my article on natural variation where Dr. Croat, Leland Miyano and others helped me to understand this better.

I have no idea what the parent plant may have been. It could have easily been a parent with reduced blades. All I know for sure is the story Bill told me when we were in Miami last September. The tray of plants came from the lab in central Florida as Alocasia Amazonica. A DNA test was done according to Bill and Denis and the two plants are one and the same, Poly is just smaller.
