Huh. I didn't realize that there are instances where the baby leaves are bigger than the mature leaves, although I suppose it makes sense when you think about it--a seedling probably needs a lot of sun, and doesn't exactly have a ton of leaves to get it from. And I think you may be right about the color issue--my split-leaf philodendron's new leaves have a tendency to be light green when they first emerge, but get darker and thicker as they mature. Maybe the same thing is happening here.
And I definitely think you should grow one too! <3 They're fun to watch once they actually, you know, start growing. Avobaby could have a penpal! <3 <3 <3 <3
