Appreciation: Random variegated leaf on 'Inaba shidare'

Hi, I thought I would share this for the interest of others and just a bit of fun. One of my 'Inaba shidare' cultivars has this year put out one single leaf with a very striking variegation, situated rather low down on the tallish plant. I am not really expecting anything to come of it but will keep my eye on it anyway to see if a variegated shoot develops from this point. Enjoy:

 

Stunning and interesting M. Could there be an air layering in the offing here!!?

 

Early days yet, but if it were to grow into a variegated branch I would certainly look to propagate it. As it stands the other leaf in the terminal pair is normal non-variegated so I really don't know how it will develop...

 

I look forward to hearing how it develops M.

 

Looking good Maf :) if that branch produces the same year on year then defo worth grafting it.
Am getting some nice colours on this cultivar this year

 

Slight correction. The other leaf of the pair shows slight variegation. Upper leaf here:
