I agree with Martin. I see this once in a while with my callas. The tip-off is that the colors on the "confused leaf" are the same as on the spathe, but with green mixed in. When this happens on a plant with red and white spathe, it can be pretty spectacular, looking similar to some caladiums. I haven't experimented to see if any particular culture increases the tendency (e.g., heavy fertilizing). It just happens from time to time.

Hello,
Am hoping someone can provide some advice. Yesterday I was given a Calla
lily hybrid from a local garden center. Two of the leaves have large yellow
striped areas radiating from the midrib of each leaf (see photos). The
other leaves have the typical small light-colored speckling and no yellow.
Is this normal, or is it caused by a virus? I have isolated the plant but
would like to know if anyone has seen something like this and if it is
infected. Thank you in advance for your help.
Carol
