Yeah, the purple one is pretty wild looking! There are many varieties in Asia that aren't available here yet, these are just a couple. Don't know if the purple one can be tissue cultured or not. A friend of mine sent me the pictures, and allowed me to post them. He just went on a plant-hunting trip to Asia (must be nice!), and took those pics in Thailand. He said that only a few collectors have that one right now. I'd like one too!
