The species fern leaf, p.tenuifolia (single red) and p.tenuifolia flore plena or rubra flore plena (double red) are slow to multiply so they may be hard to find at times. There are several hybrid fern leaf which are not sold as not true fern leaf. A pink fern leaf is probably a hybrid but I think there is a species p.tenuifolia rosea or something like that but it would be rare in regular commerce.

I was planning on buying a species red double this year but my trusted nursery, Hidden Springs Flower Farms, did not offer any for sale due to a shortage of field grown plants. I paid $28.99 for a species single in '09 so I would expect the cost would approach $40 next year. Anything under $50 for a quality species double would not be out of line. Beware of e-bay. I think Ticker has contacts with private growers who may be able to sell you one.
