Pitta:

Wow! I haven't seen this one in the nurseries here yet either. I wonder if this variety was developed in Australia?

Pitta:

I've seen the mauve and variegated pinks, red, yellow with white before...however, this blue variety is very unusual.

Thanks all , I really love Pentas . I have never seen a yellow that would blend beautifully with the purple and blue. Someone gave me a white but the cutting was so small and too young a stem ,it did not strike. I have a friend who has an old fashioned red struck for me ,grows pretty tall.
Okasia . I looked at that plant you mentioned abnd Isee what you mean.
