Crinum help.

I've uploaded a photo of Crinum asiaticum (somewhat fuzzy) to the Mystery
Bulb page on the Wiki. Its not an unidentified bulb in the usual sense, but
I do have a question about it. This was a dark red offset from an ancient
but otherwise normal looking Crinum asiaticum. The parent did have a faint
red blush to the leaves that I put down to an extreme drought and direct
tropical sun. None of the nearby asiaticums had a similar blush. Its shape
and coloring is not like my current procerums, although with age, the red
has darkened with purple that is a little bit closer in hue to procerum
'Queen Emma'.
I do rather like the fade to green in the older leaves. Is this normal
variation?
I would appreciate comments from anyone more familiar with crinum than I
(that would be most of you, I suspect).
