Plant ID HELP!

Can anyone tell me what variety this is and where I can find it? I saw this planted at the Portland City Hall and love it, but can't seem to find it. It's Impatiens Omeiana, but I'd like to know if there is a particular variety. This has very dark leaves and are long, approximately 5-6 inches. I've tried several garden centers who have Omeiana, but none look quite the same.

I appreciate any help you all can give. Also, if you know where to find it, that would be appreciated also.

It looks like the common form of omeiana but just really happy. Dan Hinkley also collected a form that looks similar but has much more narrow leaves but this one isnt released yet. Try Cistus Nursery in Portland. They have several forms of omeiana with different colored leaves as well as the common one. A new one that they have is called 'Silver Pink' which has leaves just as the name states.
