I purchased Captain's Adventure from a pretty reliable nursery three weeks ago. It is now looking a bit too colorful. (Camera is in my other auto which is not here or I would send photo ASAP) Anyone have that variety? Heard it came from Europe and that is additional concern.
TO top off my nightly walkabout I found my Atlantis a bit droopy....thank you Mr Pocket Gopher. Dug it out right away, ( a couple of roots were left)sprinkled with rooting hormone and put into a pot!

Hi "Sad Sally"
Without a picture it would be really hard to give you any advice. If you can get close up macro images of the leaves in question I'd be happy to look at it and others that have the plant might be able to comment too, after seeing a picture.

Snipped a representative sample of leaves from Captain's Adventure.
What is the consensus?

My guess is sun damage, but I'd wait for Chris's answer to know for sure. The leave on the top in the second picture and to the left in the 3rd is a little suspect.
