Roscoea alpina 'Leaping Salmon'



This plant was named and distributed by Jim Cave of Fir Tree Farm Nursery in Cornwall, as Roscoea 'Leaping Salmon' , and is clearly a form of R.alpina.
I assume from the name that the original plant was pink but plants grown from seed have been varied to purple.

I'm not sure that the plant established widely in cultivation. I no longer have it and an internet search hasn't turned anything up.
