I am attaching a photo of a Cordyline 'Pink Pepper' plant.  It obviously has significant amounts of Cordyline Fruticosa in it, but if it is a hybrid, what else could it have been hybridized with?  It has very thin leaves, but otherwise looks like a normal Hawaiian Ti plant. When you see these side-by-side with the regular Ti plants at HD, the difference is quite significant because the regular Cordyline Fruticosa has much wider leaves. 

Thoughts?

Cordyline Fruiticosa come in many different leaf types with many different color combos. The orig. color Ti was green and a red color Ti. Over the years with breeding many new color and leaf type hybrids have been introduced. C. Fruiticosa is unstable and will not produce offspring true to the parent plant. When your plant sets seed, plant them and stand back and marvel at the different looking Ti you will have from those seed.
