Anyone growing variegated namwa

I've got many different variegated Pisang Awak cultivars but only have one strain that has these pink colored leaves and have been curious if others are growing any similar to it.

My soil is between 4.5 - 5.0 and they grow great. I wouldn't be surprised if plant to bloom is 6 to 7 months.

Yes. I found one with slight variegation among a group of namwa for sale at a nursery here. shortly after planting, the new leaves seemed to lose their variegation, so I moved it to an area with a lot of organic matter. New leaves were beautifully variegatedwith some pink.
