Thanks for the compliment!
This is one of the very common varities of Pentas available here in San Diego, CA. So many usual hybrids are becoming available in the last couple of years. Sometimes I will see the unusual orange-flowered variety.

Not surprised it has gone on Bernieh's list.
It is very pretty.
