Default Cryptocoryne spec. “Flamingo”

Anyone heard or currently keep this? I haven't found it on any American (english) sites, only European sites, mainly German. Here's a link, http://www.aquaristik.de/shop1/images/d945a.jpg it looks way different than anything I've seen.

It does look nice, but I am wondering if it is really something different or just a common crypt given certain ferts and/or lighting to achieve the color.

It can be even more pink if kept in good conditions. Look at here http://www.aqua-web.fi/forum/viewtop...mingo#p6911014
She says that it's quite slow growing variety

From what I gathered from the poor translation I could get from googles translator it does grow slow. They don't seem to know much about how the pink is attained though. It says, or according to the poor translation, that the pink stays with it until the leaves start to wilt? Some people also argue that it may be some sort of disease of the chlorophyll or some other aspect. It would be interesting to get the opinion of someone like Keei or Jan on this particular crypt.

This is what I found about it on a few sites
"This brand new Cryptocoryne, is a Cultivar, created from a mutation in the wild of the C.cordata species, and bred to grow to this rare Flamingo pink colour. Because it is produced in a Tissue Culture laboratory, it is supplied in a plastic culture dish, but can be readily rooted by the Hobbyist, and will grow and spread out, over a matter of 2-3 months.

It sure is beautiful. There are so many gorgeous plants out there. I wonder how many we'll never be able to get state side. I'm sure glad for all the collectors that search them out and bring them in for us! That's why it's so important to share! Thanks guys!
