Oh by the way, the picture in my last note, was what happens when you are growing "bloodgood" seedlings and a seed collector switches seed source on you. We've grown hundreds of thousand of these over the years and always had the same seed source that came true red/purple every year with less than 1% green in it. This last year we had 25% green and needless to say had to call BS on the collectors seed source being the same. All palmatum want to revert to a green seedling, even though these greens had a cool purple marinated leaf. Your little red seed in your picture, that's the seed I would want if I had a choice.
