The white side quickly burned up, even in partial shade.
The second leaf was also all white on one side and the white side burned up quickly:
Finally the third leaf showed up, looking normal and healthy:
My plant seems to be recovering nicely and looks to be well on its way. I'm looking forward to getting it in the ground.
I love this site and all the useful information here.
