organic One of my Devil's Brain plants is producing all purple pods

One of my five Devil's Brains doesn't look like the others! Purple leaves, purple stems, and purple pods. I knew it was an oddball by the time it fully put out its first set of true leaves, but thought it might just grow out of it. It never did.

Some of the pods have been full grown for a long time and I'm having a bit of difficulty knowing when they're ripe. Will they still turn red?

Here's the difference in foliage from the top compared to its neighbour (a Big Chocolate Mama):

Possibly a cross or some randomly mislabelled seeds but it looks great nonetheless! Let them go for a while as some pods takes ages to fully ripen. They might turn to red or another color but I strongly doubdt that they'll stay this color. Check for softness when you gently squeeze the pods to know if they are ready.

The purple is fading on that first pd, so it looks like they'll probably turn red and look very much like the other 4 devil's brain plants I have going. Even the purple ones resemble what the photos at WHPs show... except they start purple! Lol

So we'll see in another week or two. They are incredibly slow to ripen.
