Hi, after mulling this over a bit, I can only come up with 2 explanations so far. And I do think u get the same result for the same food each time, from my observations of other evolutions.

One, I'm guessing u had it on parenting style "Personal Growth", and u maybe fed it the Potion one day, maybe close to Japanese Midnight even, and continued to play thru JM that day without checking your monsters (or maybe u just didn't log on that day). Then, u logged on the following day after the next JM, and checked your monsters, where it had evolved to green. But it did not evolve from the Potion after the 1st JM; rather, it evolved to the regular, "normal" green evolution after the 2nd JM, after not being fed by u the day after u fed it the Potion.

Two, that, in addition to the "special" foods that boosts monsters over the "variant" evolutionary hump and the "enjoying the moment" normal evolution block, there's normal evolution "special" foods that also boost monsters over the "enjoying the moment" normal evolution block, like the "variant" special foods do.

Might I suggest rearing another sapling to see if u can duplicate your result, especially since I'm guessing u were trying for a red one anyway? :)   I am rearing another sapling with just water to verify what its "normal" evolution is. After reaching 3 stars growth, I will put it on "enjoying the moment" for 10 water feedings to see if it evolves, then, if it doesn't, put it on "personal growth" with water feedings (or no feedings) til it evolves.
