Susan,

   I'm not really sure how old that's happened to Clivia but my Hippeastrum
reverted within a year or so after they started growing out variegated, it
was quite sad, they looked so cool with the variegated leaves and SADLY I
was hoping to have pictures of my H. papilio blooming with the variegated
leaves.
