This is actually growing in the ground, I will have to send another pic.

Is it really that shade of pink?...I am not sure that I have seen that before.

Yes it is, they come in orange as well and other soft colours. Interestingly, a lady in the Horticulture Club I'm in, gave a demonstration of how she actually pollinates these flowers herself to give it different shades of colours,she actually transfers the pollens from the bright hibiscus flowers to the stork of the anthurium by rubbing it lightly with her finger, then when the stork of the anthurium starts sprouting up little flowers on the edge(which is quite small to see), she collects them gently and transfers them separately into pot mix container, after they grow much bigger she then pots them into separate containers. I will send you photo's next week as our Annual Flower Show will be on and will be plentiful of these colours.
