Can anyone give me some easy and definitive distinguishing features between
the various S. purpurea venosa forms/variants/sub-subspecies? (chipola,
burkii)

I have a purp venosa, gulf coast Florida (Tallahassee area). In two years of
cultivation in outdoor sun in N. Virginia, is hasn't become red, but rather
more a light to medium green with heavy red venation. For the first time this
spring, it is flowering, and the petals are a blush pink (White Zinfandel for
comparison).

Anyone know what I've got?

Thanks in advance
