@Greene, yes you sent me several cuttings, some of which were these.

I had had a large patch of the "normal" sized pink coccinea in the back yard and was still in the process of trying to eliminate the seedlings as they popped up in order to prevent them crossing with the Summer Jewel Pink and Red, both of which I now owned. So as your cuttings came into bloom and showed themselves to be a pink S. coccinea I pulled them.

I have one left coming into bud that looks to be your pink coccinea. I'll let it bloom, then do a photo-comparison with Summer Jewel Pink. I'm curious now myself to see the side-by-side comparison again, and this time document it.
