Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Colocasia worthy of being renamed?, 1 by stevesivek

My Colocasia esculenta "Limeade" has developed offspring with the light color of its chimeric variegation that consumes the entire plant. The morphed plant occasionally puts a few tiny darker spots on the leaves but is 98% the light color. Where the Limeade's petioles are striated, those of the new plant are white. The offspring of the new plant always come true to its parent and do not revert to Limeade's variegation. Though it's not as exciting as the parent Limeade should, could, would this be categorized or registered as a new variety? New registration of a sport is common with hibiscus rosa-sinensis when the bloom remains true to the sport with continued propagation of cuttings.
