I'm kinda ambivalent about this one. I'd have to see it in person. The pink makes it look sort of like the plant is in serious trouble and may be dying. I think these new "types" with streaks and weird coloring on the leaves are often a result of a mutation or a virus and can be quite variable plant to plant and condition to condition (as can be seen on the surrounding plants). I wonder if they can mericlone this type of plant (like they do with orchids)?
