Anyone grow hedy Pink Sparks? Have pic?

This is another one of those Aloha Tropicals disasters. What I have is definitely pink and it is growing next to my Kane's Pink. There is a distinct difference between the two plants but my "Sparks" doesn't have that upright stamen coccineum look that the photos have at Aloha. What I need is a close up of the flower instead of the side view of the whole inflorescence. Sigh, I think that I have just about straightened out all the misIDs!

Here's the clearest picture I can find. To me it looks the same as the pic at Aloha Tropicals.

More Pink Sparks pics & info

This link is to Tom Wood's original picture of Pink Sparks in clear focus. Aloha Tropicals seems to have borrowed this pic and posts it at a much lower resolution.

On this page, Tom Wood has a brief description: http://www.oldcity.com/sites/gingers/ Scroll down.

Here is Dave Skinner's page on Pink Sparks -- no pics, though: http://www.gingersrus.com/DataSheet.php?PID=3259
