Variegation variation

I am intrigued by variegated plants and Fatsia japonica "Spiderweb" is an excellent example. Each leaf has white flecks, patches and veins. I only have one plant but each leaf is different. Here are some photos taken of it today.

The plant is grown in partial shade which keeps the green parts of the leaf nice and dark and prevents the white parts from burning in the sun.





Some are even all white!
